Hi everyone ,

Just checking in. After being diagnosed with bowel cancer and liver metastases at the end of may I have now completed round 4 of oxaliplatin and 5fu .

I have had minimal and manageable side effects so far. Although they are cumulative with each round.

My picc line is behaving well with no problems after a few palpitations in the first few days of having it sited. I think it took a while for my heart to get used to having something near it . 

I'm feeling generally well however there are maybe 2 or 3 days during the cycle that I do very little due to tiredness or trapped wind. I've stopped eating red meat now as this definitely made my bloating and fullness a lot worse.

Just waiting for my pump to be disconnected by the district nurse then I'm off to the lakes xxxx
