So, last Monday I had another check up. The oncologist did an ultrasound on my abdomen and said he was happy with how everything looks. Got my 2nd B12 injection and blood tests. Hard to believe that it is a year already since I had surgery.
On Tuesday I submitted the stool test for the colorectal cancer screening. I wish I hadn't! My GP's secretary called me this morning to make an appointment. I explained that I was out of the country for a couple of months. The doctor wasn't working today so I emailed her. She answered and said that there was a trace of blood in my stool sample so further investigation is required. This will probably mean a colonoscopy but she will call me in the next few days to discuss it and then I'll contact my oncologist. I do suffer from haemorrhoids so I'm hoping that it's only that.
I've been feeling fine so fingers crossed that all will be fine.
