Chemo options.

Carffald — Tue, 23 Jan 2024 01:42:54 GMT

I’m meeting with the oncologist tomorrow to discuss treatment options ie chemo or not.
What questions should i ask?

Diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of ascending colon on Dec 4th 2023 Hemicolectomy (no stoma) Dec 13th. Recovering since, so far uneventful. Only able to drive/ lift more than 5 kgs from this week.

thanks in advance.

Hi, maybe you could check with the cancer council about what questions you need to ask. You can ring them. Also make sure you have someone with you for support and to remember what you don’t. Hope tomorrow is ok for you 🙏💕 Linda G

Thank you. I did check with the Cancer Council who were most helpful. And also had a checklist of questions to ask.
In the event, I'm not eligible for chemotherapy ( surgical team had miscalculated stage if) but will be starting immunotherapy in 2 days time.
