Hi I am devastated and do not know what to do ...
Colonoscopy on 17th April was told that I have a malignant tumour on my bowel and a CAT scan done before shows nodules on lungs .
Waiting for MDT meeting that will happen on 29th April and then I will be called to hospital for next stage .
Just in shock ...
Hi and welcome to the community. Many of us will be familiar with the initial shock of a cancer diagnosis. The early days of uncertainty can be the worst. Easy for me to say now, but once a treatment plan is put in place and you know where you are going, things tend to be a little less stressful. Could I point you to the Bowel (colon and rectum) group . There you will find others with experience of this and will be able to help and advise you. Click the link to get to the group. You can then start a new discussion in the group with your concerns. I hope all goes well. Best wishes.
Hi rily ...Thank you so much for your message and the link. I will get in contact with the group.
It is so nice to know there is this support .
I have a feeling I will get comfort from knowing I can off load all my emotions and answers to my questions !
Thank you again and Happy Easter X
