Hi Diana,
I also have colorectal cancer with a few spots on my liver and lungs. I have been on chemo for 19 months now and I'm feeling pretty good. In many cases, this is highly treatable. Be sure to write down all of the questions you have as you think of them so you can ask the oncologist when you are there. It's likely you will both be nervous, and it's so easy to forget your questions if you don't write them down. I do it all the time.
Please ask any and all questions. Of course, the oncologist is the one to answer specific medical issues. We're here to support you and offer advice and opinions on things that may be a bit simpler like chemo side effects, what we do for nausea, what did we do for diarrhea, general questions on therapies and surgeries.
And Yes, I also remember you and I'm so glad you're posting again!
Pam
