I just want to say hi, I have looked around the site and I am thankful and blessed to have a sister that told me to come here.  Diagnosed just a few weeks ago with stage 3 cancer, caught in screening process.  Chemo (Folfox) to start on Jan 7th.  Port to be installed tomorrow December 22. I live in a very isolated place, will have to be admitted to hospital to have treatments.  Anyone that has experienced the same, advice greatly welcomed :)

Merry Christmas!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=222825&amp;AppID=18096&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="christmas" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/rachelnewfoundland/archive/tags/christmas" /><category term="screening" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/rachelnewfoundland/archive/tags/screening" /><category term="Hospital" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/rachelnewfoundland/archive/tags/Hospital" /><category term="colorectal" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/rachelnewfoundland/archive/tags/colorectal" /><category term="chemotherapy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/rachelnewfoundland/archive/tags/chemotherapy" /><category term="bowel cancer" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/rachelnewfoundland/archive/tags/bowel%2bcancer" /><category term="FOLFOX" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/rachelnewfoundland/archive/tags/FOLFOX" /><category term="rectum" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/rachelnewfoundland/archive/tags/rectum" /></entry></feed>
