Hi All just looking for a bit of support as struggling today. Following CT and 2 MRI scans should have had an appointment with consultant surgeon on Tuesday but this has now been postponed till next Friday due to staff shortages at the hospital and the clinic being cancelled. Really gutted as need to get results and find out prognosis as thinking the worst today. I know there will be lots of others in my position now and in the past and really trying to be positive and take one day at a time but as I'm sure you all know it's not always that easy.
Hi all sorry for the late response. Best news I could have hoped for. No spread to major organs and contained in rectum in a "good"position so op scheduled for Monday November 15th to remove it. Not sure if spread to lymph nodes at present but worst case will be chemo afterwards. Such a relief, never thought I would look forward to a major op. Xx sure your support and best wishes have helped, can't thank you enough. Xxx will keep you posted xxx
