Hi everyone

I have stage 4 bowel cancer and latest scan results tomorrow.   I’ve had so many UTI’s and now have a chest infection and am feeling really low.  I’ve had lower stomach pains for quite a while now but have been waiting to speak to the consultant as it could  be something to do with my almost permanent UTI.   I’m so scared about tomorrow that it’s making me think the worst and the chemo fatigue is really getting to me too.  I have 2 weekly chemo now which is just too much really.  

I just want to feel a little better and remember it’s all worth fighting for instead of thinking I’m dying now.   I was given 2 years - 1 yr 5 months ago and have been so positive up till now.   These ailments could all be sorted and the results as positive as I can hope for ie no change in lung nodules and cancer near my ureta or even signs of shrinking.  It’s been a hard slog since 2018 and I’m not much liking my negativity now or my lack of hope. 

Sorry for the moan - better out than I’m hey?
