Well the timing is awful but after having a LAR August 21 for Bowel cancer then reversed September 2nd , blocking November 8th. Yearly CT scan showed lung nodules the results are I’m now seeing a lung specialist!
To say I’m not happy is an understatement
To he honest I think I will consider following this up I’ve had enough treatment it’s been amazing but what with my husbands three consultants and my now two, there’s not much time left for life!
Not sure why I’m putting this up but it helps me to release it here rather than my family
That’s been a tough day for you Ann and a lot to process. It just rocks you, but there will be a plan once the tests are finished. Meanwhile, it’s just one day at a time. Sending a big hug.

That’s a lot to process, Ann. It rocks you sideways when you hear a result like this, but there will be a plan once all the tests are complete. Meanwhile, it’s just one day at a time. I’m sending you a big hug.

Big day for you Artsie . Hope you are ok . They leave you drained .
Its so strange how they said they don’t think it’s from the bowel . My mum has a two cm lung nodule with mediastinal Lymph nodes ( that’s a first with the nodes ) . Her gastro team talked about doing a broncho investigation but they decided it’s most likely from the bowel .
You do wonder how they work it all out .
Take care ,

Thanks Sarah and Court
I have many tiny ones on both lungs that have not cleared up. I didn’t have them three months ago so they are keen to try and get a biopsy which is tricky as the largest two are 1cm and only one of those might be accessible
I feel that I can’t do anything about it. That’s up to them.
I don’t really want any more pulling about I’m tired of it
I asked her if I should get my house in order. She looked shocked but didn’t answer. Think that’s what I need to get my head around. I haven’t even written a will. So I’ll let the medics worry about my lungs and I must sort out the stuff I can and I want a holiday.
Take care xxx

That does indeed sound like a long and exhausting day.
Great that MDTs are this Friday - fingers crossed they agree evertlything and get you swiftly processed and on road to recovery.
Think you deserve an extra positivity filled virtual hug ... sending it now
