Hi, recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and lymph nodes x5.  The diagnosis was on my birthday, so that’s a marker not to forget.  Awaiting a further pelvis mri and then MDT to determine treatment, a big hello from Manchester.   G 

  • Hi G and a warm welcome to the board. That wasn’t a very nice birthday present was it? The waiting for scan results and meetings is very stressful but once you have a treatment plan in place then things will honestly feel a bit better.

    Stay away from google - it can be out of date and misleading - stay on here and the bowel cancer uk board and you can ask anything you like - there’s nothing too daft or embarrassing.

    We’re all at different stages of treatment and recovery and, if you click on peoples names, then their profile page may show their treatment to date.

    Glad you’ve joined us and we’ll be happy to help and support you through this

    Take care
