Hello

I have followed this forum for the past seven years; joined in discussions, & have given advice (& been given advice) - based on my own personal experiences, & have found this site a wonderful platform for everybody that has been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer.

I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer in 2019, & had a left Hemicolectomy. One year later, I developed two Lung Nodules. Both conditions were treated successfully, & I was followed up until January this year, after being in remission for that time.

In the past six weeks,I have experienced chronic daily diarrhoea after eating food, & have a dull ache very low in my left abdomen. I have had many visits to my medical centre. Fit Test normal, as were Bloods. However, last consultation yesterday, & I'm now on the 2WW, & waiting for the phone call or letter.

Oh bugger it - here we go again! But at least I know all the procedural tests that I will have to face again, & will be prepared for. 

However, I can't say I'm happy to be back in this possible situation again. 

  • Hi  

    And what a support you have been to everyone over the years . I am

    sincerely hoping it’s something totally benign that is troubling you and nothing cancer related . 
    Can totally see why you would want to be thoroughly checked out and will be holding out to hopefully hear it’s all ok .

    But I do remember you initially posting about the lung spread then you finding your feet and faced it head on .

    Take special care ,
