Hi
I was diagnosed with rectal cancer today. No stage yet as still need an MRI. They did point out though that my case is under investigation as this should have been picked up during my colonoscopy a year ago, when it was precancerous.
My youngest is moving to Uni, 3 hours away, this weekend. I haven't told my kids and don't plan to until I am ready for surgery.
My head is spinning.
