Hello Ann

I dont know if you got the other message. I am T2 so far with 6cm tumour. The surgeon said he will stage it once local lymph nodes and veins tested have come back. If they have a chemo mop up if I want to.

Hi there I was T2 not that I knew that before my surgery. I just handed myself over and did everything they said. It’s the best way. They’re the experts. If you click on my name you can read my bio 

Bowel Cancer is really treatable. 
You take care. Deep breathe and go with it. 
Once the cancers in the bin you will feel such a relief x

Thank you Anne. I will read your bio now. 

Will keep you updated

Hi Gill

You sound so busy. Christmas wrapping bed changing you go girl.

You put me to shame I’ve done absolutely nothing. No presents or beds made. Im in hibernation mode 

I hope all goes well tomorrow.
Do you have the prep to take or isn’t that needed as they gave me mine after my preop   You may not need it. 
I hate that stuff. Yucky yucky yucky 

Take care I’m sending you a huge hug

Hi Ann

Yes i have pre ready to take but dont know what time to take it. My colonoscopy was a pm so it was 10pm and 6am.

Tried to get through to the hospital but its all answer machines and so far no one has got back to me.

If i dont hear anything i will do 5pm and 9pm.

U have pre load to take also but have tines for that. Even one at 6am tomorrow. When I was nursing it was always nil by mouth but times have changed since then

Big hugs

Good luck with that yucky stuff . The only positive from that is the scales. Ha ha 

Hope you get through to them to your nurses 

I had the drinks they gave me two the night before and two in the morning I had them on my reversal too. I was one of the few that liked them. 
They’re much nicer than that empty the bowel stuff.

I came out with the prep and four bottles didn’t have a clue what to do with them. So you’re not alone

Hi Gill, I am so sad that you have so much to deal with at a time when you need to concentrate on yourself. We also have a beloved cat, a British Short Hair called Teddy, he will be nine on 31 December. He has a bit of a heart murmer which causes us worry. Have you had your surgery? I had mine, right side colectomy extended on Tuesday. I was discharged on Friday evening precipitously and chaotically as they had to free up beds for loads of covid patients. I am very fortunate my husband is fit enough and able to look after me. Let me know how things are going with you, Jane x
