New Here, Hello

Sorry to hear that you find yourself in this position.however despite how you feel at the moment ,you will get through it and come out the other side.

Try to go with the flow and not worry about the what ifs and what mights.

And yes you do still have control  . ask questions,take notes so you can go over things later.I always jotted things down as I went along so that I had my list of questions ready when I met the doctor/surgeon/oncologist etc

Do click on peoples names to read their bios and see how they navigated thro their treatments.

All thebest

Hi,

Dont know how helpful this will be but this is my story. I’ve been where you are 10 years ago. I had stage 3 with small bowel cancer 3 nodules involved and the cancer was blocking my bowel. I was taken in for emergency right hemi colectomy followed by adjuvant chemo. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the same time. I’m still here lived life to the full in the last 10 years. It’s extremely difficult I no but if you can put it in a box and continue to live your life. It sounds like your cancer will be treated think positive you are going to get through this you’ve got this. Xx

Thank you Cath. I'm so glad you're in a good place. I know you're right & I just need to get my head around it. I was booked in for op & then at the MDT they decided I needed the chemo 1st which was a bit of a knock back. Stay well xx
