Help I have stage 4 mucinous colon cancer and I can only find limited information on this type of colon cancer. I would appreciate any information or experiences with this type of colon cancer
I had colon resection in 2008 and started chemo in 2009. I had a severe reaction to chemo sand was not able to complete the treatments. Mucinous colon cancer doesnot spread to the liver or lungs but fils the adominal cavity with mucus by small tumors. I had a de bulking surgery July 2010 and they removed 5 pounds of cancerous mucus. July 2010 another debulking removing 8 pounds. This year debulking is not an option as I also have "hard" tumors in the stomach muscles plus a hernia caused by mucus bulk.
I am desperate for any information that anyone has. I am really wondering about what happens now.
Thanks
I had a colon resection Nov. 2008. Was unable to complete chemo because of a serious allergic reaction. I had a debulking surgery July 2009 and enjoyed good health for 10 months. Another debulking surgery July 2011 and good health for 8 months. I now have hard tumors in my stomach muscles and several mucus producing tumors in my adominal cavity. Will not have another debulking surgery. I need information on what to expect during the next 6 months as I have been told my cancer will not go to the liver or lungs.
Thank you
