Hi all, recovering really well post op. Radiological staging looked good re lymph nodes, but hospital phoned to say cancer in 3 out of 14 so chemo next. Tumour gone though with clear margins.

Feeling a bit daunted but at least I know now what's ahead!!!

  • Hi  That must be a bit disappointing for you but remember you are now cancer free, the tumour has been removed with clear margins (which is good) and the chemo is the final stage belt and braces

    Deep breath and you can do this

    Take care

  • That’s amazing that you got your results so quickly.  Fantastic that everything was removed with good margins. It’s the best news.  

    You know so many people here had chemo and they can guide you though what to expect but you’re cancer free and that’s just the best news.   

    Remember be kind to yourself because you’re still recovering physically and mentally.  

    As Kren said you can do this.  Heart️ xxxx

  • Thanks  , picked myself up, went out for a walk. Wow it's cold out there!!!

    Reminded myself of all the positives. 

    Thanks again for all your support xxx

  • Thanks   you are right. I am amazed at how wonderful the hospital has been. I was reading Calderdale and Huddersfield Trust colorectal dept has really got its act together in terms of waiting times. Eternally grateful.  Feeling v grateful also that the operation was so successful and actually v lucky this was picked up and the doctor took action on my blood results. 

    Onwards! Hope you are doing good, have a lovely weekend xxx

  • No one ever hopes to get chemo so I know that's disappointing. But the tumor is gone, you have clean margins which is wonderful. The chemo will mop up stray cells and ensure the cancer stays gone. 

  • Thinking of you…

    My results are on Tuesday. Bit anxious Grimacing
