a x-ray.the following day it was a CT scan where they found a blockage in my bowel. I was operated on the Thurs..I was kept in for a week on various drips and tablets. on the we'd morning I got anoer CT scan and waited to be discharged but got in another night..the head doc did her rounds on the Thurs morning and said the operation went well and CT scan was clear so I got out .the following Friday I got a phone call regarding biopsy results telling me out of the 27 nodes removed 2 had cancerous cells..so tomorrow I go for blood work and if all is good I sta chemo on Monday........I am glad I went to go ( I only ever do that when I really really have to) and thanks to my GP for sending me to hospital for which I thought was just for a check up 
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
It sounds like you did the right thing in visiting your GP when you were unwell but I'm sorry to learn that you have been diagnosed with colon cancer.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also join and post in the bowel (colon and rectal) cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.

It would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis.
