Hi everyone 

So I have a video chat with the colorectal consultant on 4th March and was told that although they can’t confirm cancer without more biopsies they have planned for a resection to happen in April/May and once the tumour is out they will see if I need chemo or not.

My consultant said that I would have a blood test and Pre op appointment made and also have a chat with the stoma nurse incase I require a stoma. However apart from a letter saying I was on the general surgery waiting list (will be see within 12 weeks) I haven’t heard from anybody.

Should I get in contact with the hospital or just wait it out a bit? 

  • Hi Grega, that’s good news they have scheduled in your surgery Raised hands My pre-op assessment & bloods were pretty close to my surgery date & I only met with a stoma nurse on the morning of my actual surgery, (very luckily I ended up not needing one) so think it’s ok toRaised handsait it out & best of luck with your surgery Raised hands

  • Thanks  it’s good to hear that others have been in the same boat. I would just really like to know a confirmed date so that I can get my head around it all.

  • I know, & the waiting isn’t easy... Hang in there & all will happen in good time Raised hands this WHOLE thing has certainly made me slow down, meditate more & enjoy each day as it comes, whatever it may bring Raised hands
