Why Does Colon Cancer Come Back After Chemo?

I'm having my second go round for chemotherapy...my colon cancer metastisized to my liver so I'm back in the chair again. I am angry (not so much anymore but it's still there, I am sad, crying difficult to discuss, not understanding the whys or how this is returning. I normally stay away from groups because they make me feel more down then anything but decided to see if this one will help. My hair has thinned out so much every time I comb it it becomes more than and painful to me. I am working on my diet juicing and more veggies..this is my first hookup week two weeks ago I had a rough reaction so this week they slowed the medicine up. My question i researched is why does it come back after the harsh treatments provided is it based on the stage of the cancer one was diagnosed with? Then the weight gain comes back the craving come back which I have eliminate a lot of the sugar cravings I once had. Like myself there is someone out there that may feel moreso like this is a venting session and you may or may not obtain some very good insight. We all strive to be better. Blessings to you all

How do I cope with brain tumors from metastatic cancer?

Grand Rising! We are here! We are thriving! With self love and self care and positive thinking and building a foundation of supporters who care for us. Living with metastatic breast cancer for 2 years and 6 months. I've had three treatments. My tumor Markers have gone up and down. As of the present time, I've just found out that I have 5 mm and 3 mm tumors on my brain. It's very overwhelming. It's no joke feeling like this. I don't know anymore. But I build my life with this illness of strength, peace, health and well-being. Got rid of all the things that brung my life down. So I can deal with this illness in my life. I'm proud of myself I must say. I've come a long way. Having a illness like this makes you think of your childhood and things that you have gone through. You go all the way from the beginning to the present time in healing. It's rough and it's hard and it's a lot to do. But we are still here. All is well to all of us. 🌷
