Good afternoon everyone
Had my results yesterday and my fears were confirmed with a diagnosis of bowel cancer.
Mine is a rarer form where it is growing on the outside of the bowel not the inside. It is pushing up against my prostate and is causing the pain I'm experiencing.
I was encouraged to hear that it hasn't spread anywhere the next stage being a PET scan to see if it is affecting any lymph nodes, then they can decide on treatment.
I will be dealing with a hospital over 2 and a half hrs from where I live so hostel accommodation at the hospital has been mentioned.
So now pleased to know what I'm dealing with but still so unbelievably anxious and scared.
My Dad and my aunt plus 2 friends were with me. Their support means the world
Been with my Dad today but dreading leaving him and getting home alone. Me and my Cat.
Straight to bed for me when I do, I'm so exhausted.
Love to you all.
