Hi All
I've posted previously with my story.
Post treatment which was Dual therapy Radiotherapy with chemo tablets. Ended 27th Feb.
Check up with consultant April all looking good. Although lots side effects still with me.
Since this appointment n April I've noticed a small lump on the opposite side of my canal which I though maybe prolapse part of bowel.
Waiting the 4 months as plan for treatment to continue to work So June.
MRI 15th June results app was Wednesday this week.
I had a phone call Tuesday from consultant he told me The treatment had worked BUT not 100%
Did I know I had a growth on opposite side. To which I replied Yes and I've spoken to your secretary about it 4 weeks ago. This is Cancer and he wants me to meet the surgeon in 2 weeks time so they can jointly make decision on next step.
Omg the treatment was brutal why didn't it kill these cells ????
Not sure what's ahead of me now!

Oh Jinnie I’m so saddened to be reading this! Am I correct in thinking at your original diagnosis your staging was stage 1? If so this must have come as such a shock as with such an early diagnosis you would expect the combination of the chemo & radiotherapy would have offered you your cure.
You’re right the treatment is brutal & I would be wondering ‘why’ the same as you are.
The wait for this next appointment is going to be a long one for you I’m sure, it’s often the hardest part of this process, I know whatever is decided is going to be more than you want or should need to endure but once you’ve seen your surgeon & there’s a plan in place moving forward hopefully you may feel a little more in control again.
We’re here to support you however we can. If you feel up to it please keep us updated on how you are.
