Hi am new here so hope I explain this right .
I was suffering from constipation for 8 days but was feeling ok I was still working away and using over the counter medication but on Saturday may 1st I starting vomiting up nasty brown stuff so my daughter rang the care doc who suggested ringing an ambulance incase my bowel was leaking and especially after the constipation, was brought to A&E had an enema and drank litres of movical , numerous examinations on my stomach from different doctors only to be sent home 18hrs later feeling rotten .. And then on the
7th May 2021 I was admitted to A&E with severe vomiting ,dehydration and pain in my left side I really dont remember much about that day but to cut a long story short I had a major operation the following day to be told I had a tumour and lymph nodes removed from my large bowel , even though I had 60% of my bowel removed I did not need a colostomy bag which I was lucky .I was sent home a week later and told I would be called to meet the following week for my biopsy results , however cyber attack hit and 1 week turned into 3 weeks waiting , it was mentally horrendous on me and my family to say the least waiting on those results.
Plan forward is my surgeon removed all cancer and 68 lymph nodes of which 6 were infected so my oncologist recommends 12 rounds of chemo to be given through a portacath which I had inserted on Monday 5th .My chemo is starting Tuesday 13th and I am so nervous as this has all happened so quick I am terrified of the side effects and feeling very emotional as I feel fit and strong again after my surgery only to be floored again by chemo ..I know I am not alone but feel very tearful last few days .x
