Hi all today I saw a lovely consultant and had a sigmoidoscopy. He looked at me and I knew. I have a 3-4 cm tumour so onwards and for the next line and of pokes and prods. My question to everyone is I had a bowel screening beginning of November with blood and enough symptoms to be concerned. From the I had 6/7 calls over 2 and half months where I was stressed and uncomfortable where bowel screening were messing around asking GP name then a week then can we see records then need blood test in total my first CTC was almost 3 months from that first positive test. Is this reasonable considering I've now got a 3/4cm tumour which should have been seen after 2 weeks
Hi Mumto7nannyto7 ,
Another warm welcome to the MacMillan Online Community although I’m really sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis.
Has anyone told you the kind of cancer you’ve been diagnosed with? Regardless of the diagnosis though this sounds as though it’s been a very distressing time for you.
I'm really pleased that your consultant was lovely, it makes such a difference to have a good rapport with those treating you, I hope the sigmoidoscopy wasn’t too uncomfortable.
Fingers crossed things will start moving a littquicker now.
Nicola
