Mind you this woman has never had anything wrong before , other than cold or stomach bugs. Did some tests , suggested she get a colonoscopy. Over 4 days , we found out she might have cancer to being diagnosed with stage 4 (spread to her liver , maybe also thyroid. The biopsy is soon). Was a really big shock obviously.
She started chemo this past Friday. She didn't make it through her 7 hour chemo session. She started throwing up about 3 hours in. Couldn't get her to stop. She ended up in the ER. Her oncologist said they will dial it back and not be so aggressive. Basically more bad news.

Have they determined that she does indeed have cancer or "just might"? a bit confused here. Did she have a colonoscopy? What other test has she had done. This type of cancer does not generally spread to the thyroid. What chemo is she on? Let's start there.
Avoid Dr. Google stats, 5-10 yrs behind the curve.
