Hi Everyone
Here is my little Story.
I Thought i had Piles (hemorrhoids) a little blood when i wiped. one day there was a lot of blood. So went to the Doctor he said one of the hemorrhoids had exploded. but dont worry the bleeding would subside.
A week later still bleeding, so i went back and he booked me in for a colonoscopy. 2 weeks later that's when i was told i have Colon cancer.
Again 2 weeks after that, I was in hospital for more tests. I received the results Monday, I have very aggressive stage 3 Colon Cancer that has Spread to my anus, and they have found dots on my Liver. So Friday 28/9. I am having another MRI to see if i have secondary cancer there.
They are talking about having Radiotherapy for about 6 weeks then resting for 6 weeks then op to remove part of the colon and fit a bag then maybe Chemotherapy.
I have asked about the life expectancy for this but everyone skirts over it and just talks about the treatment.
