in Colorectal Cancer #1

My name is Christy and my husband is Javier. Javier was diagnosed with adenosquamous carcinoma of the colon . The tumor grew outside his colon and was the size of a melon when it was removed. It was Stage IV. It is rare and aggressive. 3 weeks after surgery,the cancer has returned. We underwent radiation to the tumor on his spine to relwve the pain and allow him to walk again. We are now in Chemo. First therapy is down , not good. Huge drop in wbc , low BP.

As his wife and caregiver i struggle most days and i am working full-time with a very understanding company. I am sad and frustrated and feel veey alone in this journey
