I am so sorry to hear this as a person who also had reoccurrence of colon cancer to my liver (stage four). I got a second opnion in the beginning of my diagnosis and found an oncologist who is brilliant, compassionate, I can clearly understand him, and most of all I trust that he is doing everything he can for me. When you are truly comfortable with your cancer care team, the stress level goes way down. It is never too late for a second or even third opinion. Good luck to you.

Hi Jenna, welcome to Connect. It means a lot to have a cancer care team that you trust and are comfortable with. Are you in treatment at the moment?

No I have been cancer free for 2 1/2 years. I feel better right now than I have in five years. I took 12 treatments of oxaliplatin and 5 fu. The dose was high but looking back it was worth it.
