Good news :)

Hi Chillypom 

Is that not just the best news . No lymph node spread in either primary.  Clear margins and a good prognosis.

I have to say I think you have had an incredibly rough time and just delighted to read this . You and your family must be delighted with these results .

Now to recover , heal and take the time you need to process this . I need to pop out but will link in a good article about the stages of recovery when I come back .

For now , you enjoy every single moment and relax for a bit .

Thanks court. Its certainly been a tough year.

I saw my oncologist and she said
I have a rare form of bowel cancer plus braf mutation and ive now been staged at a high risk stage 2. theres only one chemo i can have because of this and it will be for 3 months, starting first week of Jan.
Should it come bk i wont be able to have any chemo and theyd have to have a go at something else.
Its really floored me.

Hi Chillypom 

The gold standard is surgery and hopefully that’s done the job for you . Honestly I have seen people with low risks of recurrence come back her and people with high risks walk away .

Stage 2 is also very positive for good margins .

Its a lot to process but don’t let the fact it’s all removed and with good margins slip by as these are very important too .

Bowel surgery also drops off for recurrences after two years so the further you are away from your surgery the less likely it is to recur . 

take care ,

Thank you so much for your support.

The hospital have offered me some counselling which im going to accept, think it will do me some good.
