I have colon cancer that has metastasis to my liver and chest, I’m to start chemo on Monday. Would immuno therapy work for me?

Katekat

@Hellfire-sp - great question, I've passed that on to the team to ask 💛

Katekat

For anyone that is hanging about, I'll be here for a little while.

Here's a question to get you started: What was one thing that stood out to you in tonight's webinar?

Annie26

Unfortunately I got time zones mixed up and missed most of the webinar. Is there somewhere I can view it please?

Katekat

Hi @Annie26 - oh no!

The webinar has only just finished, so it's not yet available. I'd be happy to tag you when it is 😊

Annie26

Thanks @Katekat , that would be fabulous. Not sure how I managed to mess that one up! Was all bright eyed, bushy tailed and ready to settle in only to come in on the last eleven minutes 🤪

Katekat

My pleasure @Annie26!

We'll be streaming next month's webinar in the Online Community as well, I'll be sure to include times for all our states and territories in my email and posts for that one 😀

Me again Kate

Being not very tech savvy, I can’t seem to open the webinar. Would you please walk me through the steps - sorry, such a dinosaur 🦕😁

Katekat

Hi @Annie26,

Not sure what's happened, I'll check it out tomorrow when I get into the office.

You can however, watch it here: https://www.facebook.com/CancerCouncilNSW/videos/516135135803551/

You will want to move it forward to half an hour into the video, when the webinar starts. And it goes for approximately 1 hour.
