People are strange

Blacklisting That's why my consultant said that they no longer give a number for the stage of Cancer that people have .It makes sense when you think about it saves the same thing happening..

Thanks you 

Hi BlackPudding. 

My family were exactly the same. my husband, daughter and friends were amazing. 

Waiting is the worst. I found that really tough.

If you feel worried you can phone the number on your colonoscopy to see how things are moving along.

Think you’ll be having scans before the diagnosis and treatment plan 

Treat  yourself to quality time with your friend and look after yourself  

Had have had CT and MRI

Oh brilliant so you just need your appointment with consultant. 
Hope you get your appointment soon 

Thanks I hope it goes well for you it just I lost my mum in January so it all happened at once

So sorry for your loss.
You’re having a rotten time. Take care 

Ah.  People just don’t know how to act or help, and sometimes that doesn’t relate to how much they care or how much they would help if they were more socially astute.  When my brother’s wife had cancer 20 years ago I was devastated and would have done anything but didn’t really know how to be helpful or supportive.  Now my husband has cancer and I see how some people are so amazing and now I get it -  I will be so much better the next time I need to support someone.  Best wishes with your treatment plan- the waiting and unknowns are agony.  I hope you get some clarity soon.  Also know that a lot of colon cancer is very treatable and there is good reason to be optimistic.  But everyone here knows what you are going through and I’m glad you’ve got a supportive friend.

Thanks it's lovely people are so supportive on this chat taking time out to respond

I have a wonderful sister and supportive friends, from my experience, albeit limited, I found it easier to have a list of jobs, so when someone said, is there anything I can do, I was prepared. One of the things was asking a friend to change my bed ready for when I got home, she did that and her husband weeded the garden.
