CT scan inconclusive

Hi everyone - I wonder if anyone else has experienced this? Finished chemo 7 months ago following colon cancer surgery (stage 2 tumour), lymph nodes clear but some 'veinous incursion', therefore chemo given as 'belt and braces' to hopefully protect me for the future. Was considered 'low risk' and felt confident. However, CT scan has shown a small nodule and node on the site of the surgery, therefore another scan in 3 months to see if it has grown or not. If grown then possibilities are more surgery and/or more chemo. My blood test was normal, I have put on rather than lost weight and am feeling increasingly better than I have felt for several years (apart from when I overdo things and feel exhausted - but I'm told this is normal up to about a year following treatment). Reading other people's blogs, I feel that I have a great deal to be confident and thankful for, but, nonetheless, this has come as a shock and sometimes my positive attitude slips! Would be glad to hear from anyone.

Afternoon Woppety, Lets see if we can get you the help you deserve. You seem to be creating blogs ok, but they are not being posted into the Bowel Group just on the main community page.
If you click this green text link it will take you straight to the Bowel Group - This will open in a new window/tab so you can still read this message to help you post there.

If you look where the green man symbol is in the bowel group, just under the large words Bowel (colon and rectum) Cancer you will see three small square buttons One says Joined, one says leave> and the other New Discussion>

Click on the New Discussion one and you will get a new window open. Where it says Title just put in something like "New member to the group" Then copy all the above text into the message part.

hen when you are happy with it, just click on the green 'Publish' button at the bottom of the page and your post will be placed in the Bowel group. All you have to do then is wait for some replies :-)

Hope this works better for you, George & Jackie
