Hi Wispie and welcome to the board. Have they said that they think the tumour is cancerous? The biopsy results will give a definite answer and if it is cancerous then you will have scans and meetings while a treatment plan is put in place. This waiting for results is very stressful but please stay away from google - it is out of date, misleading and downright scary in places. Bowel cancer is notoriously slow growing but also very treatable. Size is not an indication of ‘seriousness’ - my tumour was 4cm but shrank to 1cm after chemoradiotherapy and was removed during surgery.
There are lots of people on here at various stages of treatment and we’ll be happy to support you through this. Please let us know how your results go?
Hi Karen, love your advice about staying away from google.. my first big mistake.. absolutely terrifying stuff on there that’s not relevant to you!! I’m in cycle one of chemo after emergency surgery found tumour , only 10 wks since surgery
Hi wispie, I too got a shock like that ..have drs sd if it’s cancerous?? it’s good thy found it and will treat it accordingly, I was taken in to hospital thinking I had kidney issues and 24 hours later I was in theatre ..
Positive pants on , and all karen062 said is really good advice
