Is he from a different culture then where he is working/living? My parents gave their surgeon a beautiful selection of Indian sweets as he is Indian & he was really touched by this & loved it.

So freeking annoying when trying to take a chemo break that cancer doesn't bugger off too!!

Thank you for replies, means a lot. Being a busy working mum with young kids I find I keep busy & coming to this forum is a way for me to stop & process the reality of the situation. I think things won't really sink in until later though.. Will keep you posted xx Shona

Hi, feel like I've gone back to the lurking phase so though I'd check in. I come here often & draw lots of inspiration from you all as you fight through. An update on Dad....seems like a bit of a slow decline with good days and bad. I really see a change though.... Dad continues on Folfox, and s...

That's wonderful news may you remain NED forever.

I am so sorry for your loss, take care xx

Thanks mate

June is bowel cancer awareness month here in NZ...& my Dad has agreed to be part of a story to help raise awareness. If any ppl here are from NZ the story runs tomorrow night on Seven sharp. Really proud of Dad doing this even though going through some tough times.

This is sad to hear, you certainly can say you have had the best team & exhausted every opportunity available to try beat this. Thank you for all the support & knowledge you share here. I hope you have many happy days back at your peaceful home.

I'm sorry you are at this point, unfortunately no one has control of the cancers path, my family knows this only too well right now. I hope once you come to terms with this news you have opportunities to spend time doing things that bring you peace & joy with people you love.
