Hello,
I'm 52 years old and I still can't believe it but I have to accept the reality.
I've been diagnosed with T2N1 colon cancer and I'm waiting for chemotherapy. I'm very disappointed because I first went to the GP in 2023 and they said my stool blood is because of hemorrhoids. Nothing mentioned about a possible cancer considering my age, I could've gone privately for a colonoscopy. I also had a CT scan in 2024, I had kidney stones but also something else came up and the doctor said it could be cancer. He sent me for a blood test and that was all. He could've mentioned a colonoscopy or a CT scan with contrast but another opportunity to detect it earlier was missed. I feel so let down by the doctors because they just didn't care in my opinion.
I've been told the chemotherapy is recommended before the laparoscopic surgery (3-4 months from now) so anxious time ahead for me.
Not sure what else to say at present as I'm still in shock being hit with this news.
Thanks
