i have jus been diagnosed with a tumour in my Coln like everyone that gets this news and othe cancers I am terrified all I can Remember from my meeting with the consultant was the words Cancer

i can not remember what else was said,I know it's 30mm nasty looking polyp.i have an CT Scan on the 31st December 

Every little bump or slight pain I get is giving me many sleepless nights and extrem stress levels  I am I the Bowl Screenig program and I think it's been caught early

I have not told any family members except my wife who is fantastic at supporting me but should I tell my family 

i have a letter that states I have been removed from fast track and CNS/MDTC Awaiting pathology results Next steps Stagging abdo,thorax and pelvic CT (I do not understand what the letter really means any guidance would be very helpful

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community

    Although I wasn't diagnosed with the same type of cancer as you I recognise the feelings that you're going through. It's perfectly normal to think that any twinge you feel is related to the cancer whereas, in reality, it's probably just a twinge which you wouldn't even have noticed if you hadn't just been given a cancer diagnosis.

    The best person to explain your letter to you would be your CNS (cancer nurse specialist). You could give her a call tomorrow and I'm sure she'll be able to help.

    The community is divided up into support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the bowel cancer group where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions in the same way as you posted here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    When you have a minute, it would be really useful 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. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
