Bowel Cancer, secondaries in Liver and Auto-immune Diseases

Hi,

I am trying to help my sister who has bowel cancer. The primary tumour has been removed and rolled up with a course of chemo (5 of the 6 infusions).

Initial scan was clear (June) but tumours have now appeared - 3 in the liver and also in peritoneum.

She also suffers from lupus, Sjögren's syndrome and systemic sclerosis which are obviously complicating the issue. She has now been passed to palliative care.

We are looking for advice from anyone who has any experience of similar issues. Looking at any and all options which will let her have as much time as possible. Has anyone used or got any experience of DCA or "Cesium Chloride protocol"? We feel that she has been out in the "too difficult" pile now and need to do our own research. Thanks in advance!

I'm just bumping this as so sorry this advice is needed and I hope someone will know more than me.

what chemo is she on, my husband is currently in remission from bowel cancer. When he was diagnosed in 2008 it had already spread to his liver. In 2012 it spread to one lung. Remission now for just over 2 years, good luck xx
