Hi I have a 5.5cm rectal tumour 12cm margin from anal verge, found on colonoscopy on 14th December, biopsy showed Adenocarcinoma, MRI & CT came back with T3N2MO (4 lymph nodes) I'd like to ask, how long did people waited for their treatment to get started?
Hi MollyMoo11 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I haven't had the same cancer diagnosis as you, I recognise the need to know when treatment might start.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the bowel cancer group, which is a great place to ask your question, share experiences and get support.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. 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.
