Living with Colorectal Cancer: A Newcomer's Struggle

I am to

I'm very new and a little scared. No surgery yet so I don't know what is coming.

I have a Special Needs son with stage 4 Colon cancer that has spread to his liver. He has had 10 rounds of aggressive chemo that resulted in margin reduction, but I think he will never be cancer free. I'm not sure how much quality of life to expect. His legs are weak, and the pills he takes, 6 a day, each 500mg have caused mouth sores. My heart is breaking as i watch him go through this.

Hi I know it's scary but just try and take each day slowly. I was diagnosed in2021 with 3b colon cancer and I'm NED. Just try and stay focused on the things you want to live for. Get as much rest as you can and only allow positive people in you circle.Have a when this is all done I'm going to... attitude. Stay strong ask question,right notes or record appointments with your team and be positive. My primary to me to prepare for the new you.
