Hi Kaza and MihaloI only just found this forum while internet surfing in trying to find answers to a secondary bowel cancer turning up on my ovary (uninvited!!).I am 37 and was diagnosed with bowel cancer dukes B Sept last year ('07).  I had 10 cms removed.  Managed to get onto the Xeloda clinical trial in the control group (so no avastin).  As part of the trial they (oncologist) followed up with yearly CT scan which is not normal procedure for a dukes B.  October this year the CT scan found a cyst on my ovary.  I then had surgery which discovered that it was a secondary bowel cancer.  So it is disappointing that chemo did not kill it the first time.   There are a number of theories running around as to how this occurred but the specialists are all guessing.I am going to do another round of chemo with combination drugs and see how that goes but the oncologist said that there is no medical evidence to suggest that this round will work.  Fingers crossed that there are no other tumours or cancer cells.At the same time I am currently going through menopause as I elected to have a full hysterectomy due to my mum having breast cancer at 45.  As it was with the cells being cancerous they would have done a hysterectomy.  Sorry for the long winded post but a lot has happened just when life was beginning to be easier.I have three children - two girls 12 and 9 and a boy 7.  The emotions second time round have not been good.I'm so glad I found this website as it is nice to speak to other people and know that your emotions are 'normal'.  Love to chat and help you both and others through the journey.Lisa ...
