Hi,
i got rushed into hospital with a suspected perforated bowel!
Whilst having surgery they found a mass which we now know was bowel cancer, 12 lymph nodes removed and two was cancerous! It’s all been removed and my margins are clear. They found a lesion on my liver2-3cm only one. They have booked me in for a mri and pet scan they are worried as they think it could have spread to my liver. Either way I will be having Chemo! They have told me it’s treatable but I’m so scared. I suffer from mental health anxiety and depression and it’s not great at the moment! I feel like my minds racing with all these thoughts and not sure how to get rid of them!
thanks for listening and reading x
