Hi all, my name is Ian 53 from Suffolk. 2014 I was diagnosed with stage T3 colon rectal had lots of chemo and radiotherapy then 3 surgeries. I thought it was all good and I was clear of cancer. Then in 2020 I was having a lot of pain in my coccyx and after going to the doctors and having more scans I was diagnosed with stage T4 cancer and if I didn’t have the surgery then I will be dead within a year. This one had spread from my bowel in to my coccyx and surrounding area. A few months ago I had everything in my pelvis removed bladder, prostate, bowel etc.. they had to sacrifice my sciatic nerve so now I can’t walk as my left leg is no good. All good I thought. I thought I can put up with this if it means I’m now clear of cancer. After a 17 hour surgery I was told all the margins were clear of cancer. Last week I had my first CT scans and have just been told that I now have a tumour on my liver. So thanks 2020 and 2021. Anyway I’m still here and always positive about things and life so we will meet this new one head on like we did with the other 2 rounds of cancer.
