Hi, I am 19 years old and am so confused about how to help my mom. She is 54 years old and was diagnosed with stage 4 colo-rectal cancer about 9 months ago.

Resolved Question: Is 8mm small or large for a cancerous tumour?
(Fri, 20 Feb 2009 07:07:15 GMT)
I am pretty sure 8mm is small as tumours are usually measured in cm's but I just wanted to check. Also, if the tumour has grown from 5mm to 8mm in about 5 months is that fast or slow growing? My mum is on xeloda while this has happened. It also appears the cancer she had in her spine has spread from 3 tumours to 10. We can't understand the results properly (doctor terminology) so we aren't sure about the spine but that's what we think it says. Will the doctors give her radiation to her spine i

Resolved Question: Does chemo 'catch up?' And what about xeloda?
(Sat, 31 Jan 2009 07:11:56 GMT)
My mum had chemo last year due to metastatic breast cancer. It worked really well and got rid of three of the four tumours on her lung. The remaining one had shrunk from 7mm to 5mm.

The doctors said that chemo takes longer to get to the bones and that it would get there and work on the cancer and that it should also keep working on the remaining tumour on her lung. From people's experiences is this true? Also, she i

I'm a 21 yr old female and was on Xeloda and oxaliplatin for colon cancer for 6 months until a couple of weeks ago. The skin on my hands and feet went really dark and dry and cracked. The skin on my hands is now peeling off, showing lighter coloured skin underneath.

I was on Xeloda and had the hand/foot syndrome. I took myself off it after a 6 week course because my hands were so painful. I couldn't even tear open a packet of sweetener.
