In hospital and just been told I have cancer

Good luck with everything. I was in a similar position a few months ago. Hopefully you'll have a clear idea of the treatment plan soon.

HiTakayasu

So sorry to hear you ended up in hospital. Just what you were concerned about too . 
Also sorry your biopsy was positive . Hope you have had a bit more information now and a plan for going forward . 

Are you feeling any better ?

Take care and I hope you get home soon .

Court 

Hello court so yes the GP phoned me back yesterday afternoon and sent me to A and E . I arrived and they suspected and infection or bug but I was also tachycardia so they said I would be kept in . The colorectal chap came to see me so I have a bit more info . I have a Adenocarcinoma in the sigmoid and the polyp they removed last Monday showed cancer cells at the base to will need surgery to remove the sigmoid . Once it’s removed they will them tell me the rest . He has ordered a ct of the abdomen pelvis and chest and as I’m here in hospital it should be tomorrow - then I can go home . The MDT meeting is on Fridays.he said I might not make the list this Friday if they don’t have the ct results . Cancer services at Bedford are fully operational so that’s reassuring. I knew deep down that a pet scan often doesn’t lie so had a fair idea that the biopsy would be positive. I’ve sent an email to my neurologist to thank him for finding it - as goodness only knows how much further down the line it would of been found . I’m 49 and yes have had bowel changes for 2 years ( constipation) my recent Takayasu diagnosis had kind of taken over 

thank you , I’ve been told surgery to remove the sigmoid . I now wait for the results of the MDT meeting . I’ve got a ct tomorrow 

Incident finding for sure and a life saving one at that . We have always been grateful my mum completed one of the first bowel screens rolled out in our area . She had absolutely no symptoms. So glad it’s been picked up and you will get the treatment you need .

Also delighted to hear your cancer services are all operating through this period . So sad for some hospitals , staff and patients.

Worthwhile staying in to get the CT carried out . That is all moving extremely fast for you . 
Nice of you to thank your neurologist.

Stay safe ,

So sorry you have been given the firm diagnosis but it's one of the cancers that when found early enough can be 'cured' 

Hopefully everything will be done on time and Covid won't affect this. Best wishes
