Bowel cancer that has spread to my liver

Hi guys,

I have recently had surgery to remove a tumour from my bowel. The surgery was a success and they managed to remove all of the tumour however, it has spread to my liver. I have been told that surgery is impossible due to how and where it has spread and my only other option is chemo but this will not cure it, only give me a bit more time. Has anyone come across any other forms of treatment that may be worth a go? Tia xx

  • Hello Consolequeen

    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis and that despite the initial surgery being a success the team found some spread to your liver. It's understandable that you want to explore all options. 

    We do have some information on our website about treatment for advanced bowel cancer but I'd also suggest giving our team of nurses a call. I'm sure that they will be happy to talk things through with you and offer any advice or information that they have available. If you'd like to speak to them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope this helps. 

    Best wishes,
