Hi, stage 4 colorectal cancer here

My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 Colorectal cancer that has spread into her intestines. She underwent a loop ileostomy in order to do chemotherapy but after the ileostomy surgery, they noticed that the tumour in the large intestine enlarged even more and is obstructing. Their fear is that it will start to bleed throughout her body so they’re thinking of putting a capsule after round 1 or 2 of chemo. I’m very worried, anyone else ever experience anything like this?

Also anyone experience vomiting, nausea and just feeling ill after ileostomy?

Marquesdi, I moved your message about your mom and dealing with stage 4 colorectal cancer to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect easily with fellow members like @margreet @wifemom3 @lisag03 @fiona007 @susan159 @lunaluna10 @bea1972 @colca and others.

I'm sorry to hear that your mom is feeling nausea and vomiting even after the ileostomy. Do they think that the tumor causing the obstruction may be the cause of these new side effects? What do you mean by "putting a capsule after chemo"?
