Re: Bowel /liver

Hi Coz1,

I'm sorry to hear about your cancer. How awful for you, especially after battling this once before already. I really am very sorry to hear this.

All the treatment we receive carries a risk. Surgery, chemo, all of it carries some risk. 

 

The bowel cancer and the liver cancer might be related, but then again they might not.  No-one could draw any conclusions here without knowing all the facts, and even then...

There may be other risk factors for you that mean you are predisposed to cancer in that area.

 

Good luck with the surgeon! Please let know how you go and what he says.
