Hey mezzanine Sorry to hear your diagnosis, such a terrible blow, I have stage 4 bowel cancer I was diagnosed back in March and still cant believe its not a dream and actually happening to me ! I asked the prognosis and once u hear it u can not un hear it, It keeps coming back to me and even with how much i dont want to believe it, he still said it and im not sure that i shouldve known although i doubt that i couldnt not ask! I started chemo straight away and have had 8 cycles and having a break this week I hope you find out something soon x ... View more

Susie yes it is hard no knowing the prognosis i agree with u, but remember it is your dad that has it, not u he may not want u to know for his own reasons and by my own experience, once u know u cant un know! I asked for my prognosis and was told ( i was determined to know) but sometimes wish id never asked.... if u do ask remember they can only tell u statistics not individual cases until it happens of course' love and strength to u and ur dad, i wish u all the best xx ...

No sorry it doesnt sound like the treatment i am on, I havent had a rash so far I have had 8 cycles so far and ive just had another scan, i go back for the results and possibly more chemo in the morning, I understand how u feel regarding the isolation and depression, try not to let it get a hold of u though, u need to hold a positive mind! believe me it will help, though i fully understand how difficult that can be, as i said i havent had that side effect myself ...yet but because chemo is culmative I wouldnt say i have escaped that part yet i think i still have 4 cycles to go 😞 ...
