Hello I am a 77 year old lady recently diagnosed with colon cancer, without symptoms. 

4 weeks ago I had right hemicolectomy surgery under general and spinal anaesthesia. 

All successful with minimal discomfort, 1inch scar central abdomen which is healing well. After 7 days in hospital I  returned home 3 weeks ago. 

Now more or less back to normal and gradually introducing the high fibre diet I  am used to.

I now have received the histology report, and all clear with no further treatment. I feel so relieved and fortunate, with tears of joy!

I hope my story gives hope and encouragement to others who must feel as worried and anxious as I did before the surgery. 

Happy Christmas to all !

Regards Abalone
