Awesome!! Certainly fitting after everything you have endured

Sorry you going through this xx

Thank you all for the replies. We have been in stable territory for such a while that this really has been a shock. Will keep you all updated.

I'd feel gutted too, Willow. What a roller coaster of a ride for all of you. I hope the onc provided your parents w/a clearer explanation, other than his own shock, than what you are providing here. It does sound like your dad may be a chemo-for-life candidate w/all the lymph node involvement. But ...

Why wasn't he scanned at 30 days? My husband will stop chemo in June after 12 rounds of Folfox but will be scanned after 30 days. Just curious, really. Lots of prayers for you! We all agreed on a 3 month break, after 45 cycles of folfiri & such stable scans we never predicted this, but in hinds...

Dad had scan today & news terrible. Last scan 78 days ago was clear & from stopping the chemo the cancer has come back with a vengeance. Through lymph nodes around tumour site, peritoneal & all through liver....Onc stopped counting at 30. The onc was shocked & thought a 3 month break...

Sorry your mum & family have to go through this. You just have to take it one step at a time. My Dad had lots of folfiri cycles. Lots of ups & downs. We were new to cancer so was a big shock. Horrible your mum has to fight it again but hopefully knowing she beat breast cancer & that expe...

Glad you could get in so soon. It is so stressful when waiting for tests & fearing the worse, hopefully this has been unnecessary stress. Fingers crossed for you..

Well my Dad has been off chemo since Feb & has been in acute pain for last 5-6 days, right side rib cage area. Mainly when breaths in or coughs etc. Admitted for hospital & embolism ruled out. Weren't able to do full scan. Onc has managed to Bring scan forward to this Friday rather then as a...

Well I've been having a yuk feeling gut for weeks, gurgly tummy & nausea. I have been putting off getting checked (which doesn't make sense with my family history I know). Had bloods & I have H.Pylori. Having double antibiotics & losec, hopefully clears up. I had never heard of this &am...

I am going through my H-Pylori treatment now. The dual antibiotics are tough on my system even with the PPI. Mine was found when I had the EMR to remove ascending colon mass. Not thrilled about having it. It is another risk factor and something else to watch. Plan to re-populate with natural pro-bi...

Sending positive thoughts & hoping for the all clear for you. Hopefully double celebration with getting port out too.

I just got over H-Pylori back in December. It is horrible I felt worse than hell.. The H-pylori turned my acid reflex into GERD and I literally felt like I drank a bottle of boric acid. My throat all down to my stomach we fire. They had to do an endoscope to find it. Plus I let them do a colonopspy...

Yes me too. We all anxious about next scan but trying to stay positive.

I'm quite glad had symptoms so can try treat as I have read with a small amount cases can increase risk of CRC.
