Hi, I'm new here, having just had confirmation today that I have colon cancer. I've got to admit, I'm terrified.
I had an extended right hemicolectomy last month on what the surgeon told me she was 99% sure was cancer. I was really holding on to that 1% that it wasn't.
I'm recovering well from the surgery but have been told today that I am going to need chemotherapy as the tumour was definitely cancer, and that they found cancer cells in 7 of the 14(I think) lymph nodes that were also removed.
I have an appointment with the colorectal nurses on Monday 13th to ask questions and get referred for cancer support but I have no idea what I should be asking, everything is happening so quickly and more than anything I'm just scared.
