Getting my head around things

Great to read this HazG you sound much better and in a short time too .

I absolutely would email them . Is there a radiotherapy option for it ?

You are always welcome on here. I think it actually is therapy in itself and sometimes people need somewhere away from family so they can say what’s on their minds .

Take care ,

HI HagZ, I know aboutvthe waiting, I've been waiting since my first colonoscopy on the 11th June, and still I'm waiting, it's a bad rime with kids off school, summer holidays, I'm hoping to hear something in the next week, my little islands shrinking and sharks are circling it, I just want something to start, as like you I keep thinking it could be growing, fingers crossed you hear something soon. 

Hi Miss Tee. I read your appointment is today. Just to let you know I’m thinking of you I hope your news is as good as it can be. I have mine on Wednesday. It’s a worrying time. Trea xx

Hope it goes well MissTee . Thinking of you .

HazG any word from the oncologist?

Take care ,

Hi Treetops, nothing today, I've been chasing ny tail trying to get info out of people, I rang the colorectal team at the local hospital, who basically said to don't bother us now, you're being treated by Manchester, I badgered the local consultants secretary, and 5 mins later I had a call from Manchester, they've had a cancellation and want to do a sigmoidoscopy on Wednesday, so I'm hoping it's the surgeon who will see if I can havethe TEMS op, if not, I'm not sure what will happen, if illbe referred back to local hospital for the big op, I have done a lot of twiddling of my thumbs, and worrying, I'm glad somethings happening, but worried I'll be referred somewhere else and if so, how long that takes. Good luck for Wednesday xx

Imbit sure what everyone's read that I'm having something done today, I'm not I've been chasing people up, I've been waiting for 3 weeks to see what Manchester came up with, I badgered my local consultant and colorectal nurse  and then I got a call from Manchester and having a sigmoidoscopy on Wednesday, hoping then they'll start some sort of treatment. I've had a hellish week and this weekend I finally broke down and sobbed, in pain, passing blood,worried, not sleeping all finally got to me. Thansk for the thought though xx

Confusion over dates. Never mind lots of support coming through here. Sorry to hear you had such a rotten week and weekend. I guess all of the unknown just hits us like a brick wall.
So let’s both keep our fingers crossed for helpful news on Wednesday we can compare notes later.

Trea xx 

Sounds good Treetops, hope yours goes well.
