&lt;p&gt;Had a routine colonoscopy on Monday, they found a &amp;quot;swellling&amp;quot; and took a biopsy.&amp;nbsp; Despite a clear scan in June (2 years clear since the big cancer op in May 08) am now sprialling with panic that the cancer is back.&amp;nbsp; Don&amp;#39;t know anyone or any books to refer to &amp;nbsp;with any experience of dealing with recurrence of a cancer.&amp;nbsp; I can&amp;#39;t think of anything else this swelling could be as most other things I think the doc could have diagnosed just looking at it e.g. polyps, diverticulos, colitis etc.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#39;t get the results for 10 days at the GP and can&amp;#39;t stop the panic crying when the children aren&amp;#39;t here.&amp;nbsp; Does anyone have any&amp;nbsp; recurrence experiences to share (particularly colorectal)?&amp;nbsp; Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=370226&amp;AppID=31148&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="polyps" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/trying_not_to_panic_but_not_suceeding/archive/tags/polyps" /><category term="recurrence" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/trying_not_to_panic_but_not_suceeding/archive/tags/recurrence" /><category term="swelling" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/trying_not_to_panic_but_not_suceeding/archive/tags/swelling" /><category term="colorectal" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/trying_not_to_panic_but_not_suceeding/archive/tags/colorectal" /><category term="Colonoscopy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/trying_not_to_panic_but_not_suceeding/archive/tags/Colonoscopy" /><category term="biopsy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/trying_not_to_panic_but_not_suceeding/archive/tags/biopsy" /></entry></feed>
