This is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to write down but it's time to update people with what has happened.
Unfortunately the latest Chemotherapy has also failed, Didn't even make a dent into the Cancer. I've had the two best Chemotherapy treatments available for bowel cancer and both have failed. I was offered another type of Chemotherapy but the consultant advised it would probably fail also. Also I'm not strong enough to go through another round of Chemotherapy. So it was agreed that treatment would stop to give me some quality of life in the time I have left. I've fought this cancer as hard as I could but it's time to concentrate on making me has comfortable as I can become.
With this decision I am now in palliative care with a hospice which will do everything to make me comfortable 24hrs a day. I have fluid on my abdomen but it's not causing me any problems at the moment. Luckily no fluid has spread to my Liver or Lungs.
Also it gives me the chance to spend quality time & make a few more memories with family and the decision to come off Chemotherapy was a big reason for this.
My whole family have been so supportive despite this terrible news leaving them in complete shock.
I hope to see as much family & friends as time allows over these coming months.
