Good morning I have recently been diagnosed with a tumour in my transverse colon. I am on a low fibre diet as the tumour is narrowing the colon. I have my first appointment with a medical oncologist next Tuesday as they are going to use chemo before removal. I’m obviously very apprehensive! At the moment my symptoms are ok - I was getting bad stomach cramps, felt weak and dizzy and lost weight but the cramps have eased and I’ve regained nearly a stone in weight so I’m a little confused! I am also being treated for hyperthyroidism and take carbimazole and propranolol. Thank goodness there are places to share and get to meet others who are sadly in a similar position.
Hi Sims
Im pleased you found this space. There’s so many supportive members that have been through the same I found that I didn’t feel so isolated and I talked here rather than my family
I have been through a different type of cancer. Rectal and in for the op as close to blocking.
Sending you a hug.
Take care
Ann
