Hi, hope that everyone is doing good. I have been lurking on this page since last year, and have put off replying to posts or even typing up my own post.
I was diagnosed with colon cancer beginning of July 2019, five days later had emergency surgery due to a complete blockage in the Sigmoid. Sigmoid plus tumour and 20 lymph nodes removed. 4/20 lymph nodes had signs of cancer. I had eight weeks recovery from the surgery, and then started on Folfox chemo beginning of September. A total of 12 cycles and finished last cycle in March 2020 (a week before Boris announced lockdown)
Due to the Covid pandemic I did not have my follow up tests until October, which was seven months since finishing chemo. I had a CT scan and then a PET scan two weeks later. The scan results back, and surgeon that initially operated on me had handed me over to another surgeon, as the scans shown two nodules on the left lung, one more nodule than was shown on the scans I had half way through chemo. The surgeon is talking about the possibility of burning these nodules off. So, I play the waiting game until I get a date for that.
I am so drained and tired of it all now. I am almost on my own as both my sons have lives of their own. My youngest son (sons are 28 and 33) is the only one still at home, although he is hardly ever here, as he is with his girlfriend and they are expecting a baby next year.
Sorry for venting so much and apologies for the long post.
