My lovely cousins husband had bowel cancer diagnosed last year.
He had radio and chemo. Then an op to remove the tumour and was left with a bag.
More chemo to mop up the cells and before he got to the end of it , he was scanned and it's in his liver and stomach.
He's in excruciating pain, taking morphine constantly so he's out of it. Can't eat. Having no life at all. Doesn't leave the house.
Been to see them and it's beyond heartbreaking.
He starts more chemo this week.
I can't make sense of it at all. He's already a very poorly, sick man and he's getting more of the same.
He's got 6 months without chemo and 2 years with. I'd love to believe that but the reality just doesn't seem to measure up.
This is only palliative treatment, there's no cure.
Has anyone any insights and I do apologise if this is triggering but I'm just bewildered.
