Hi all
I was diagnosed with Bowel cancer back in April 2019, after a few months of visits to my GP - complaining of vague pains in my left side, very loud gurgling noises after eating, & strange looking bowel movements, & the need to lie down after lunch.
After a virtual scan & a real Colonscopy, I was diagnosed, then operated on a month later - a left Hemicolectomy, a week before my 70th birthday. Despite my age, I was still in shock & felt like a rabbit in the headlights - bombarded with Info. leaflets.
However, the Op. went well. A year later, I was diagnosed with 2 cancerous Lung Nodules....Had 6 mths of chemo, then lung ablation.
Since then, regular CT scans & blood tests. All looking good so far. I am now 75 yrs. & grateful for the attention I have received over the years. I wish everyone gets the same treatment.
