Hi Phil, I hope with this message you are well and recovering from the treatment. Apology for the delay response. It has been concerning past 11 days and yet we are still unsure about how the doctors progressing with my mum’s treatment. As I mentioned previously since stopping Capecitabine on 24th Dec mum haven’t received any treatment and the oncologist advised now is that they will do the radiation therapy to shrink the tumour. This is strange because previously they decided that they won’t be doing this and went ahead with Capecitabine orally after first infusion. My mum seems to be ok but do get pains in her leg and feels nauseous tired even though there has been no treatment for 11 days. I am getting quite worried now because oncologist said after the diagnosis that the treatment needs to start straight away to control the spread of metastasis. Tomorrow there is a planned radiation treatment so we are pretty much at the hands of the expert at the moment even though there has been such a big gap without any treatment since 24th Dec. There is no talk of surgery at all at this stage even through after the colonoscopy, surgeon wanted to operate once the course of radiation is completed, but oncologist said the surgery won’t happen. We are so blind sided at the moment that knowing the unknown scaring us at the moment. Thanks for your advice and sharing your experience so we can manage our mum’s health better with having knowledge and advice you provided. regards, Malikshaz
