Hello. I’m fairly recently diagnosed. Colonoscopy Valentine’s Day. I know most people get roses or chocs - I spent some of the afternoon looking up my bum on a screen! Have now had MRI, CT & PET scan. Tumour T2N1M0. First oncology appointment next week. I am worried but will be glad when I have a treatment plan and start date. I have a couple of health issues but on the whole I am a reasonably healthy 70 year old so fingers crossed. I have been reading posts on this forum and have been purchasing creams and potions. Haven’t yet got a sitz bath but will get one. Finding this forum has been so helpful. Thank you everyone for being not only honest but so very supportive. I am sure I will continue to be a regular visitor to the site.
