Good morning,

A month ago I was diagnosed with a tumour in my Cecum after being admitted to hospital with appendicitis. I underwent an emergency right hemicolectomy. I’m now a month post op and recovering well. Last Tuesday the hospital confirmed that I had stage 3 tumour which had affected 2 out of the 24 lymph nodes they took. Today, I had a mammogram and ultrasound sound for another lesion they found on CT, the consultant doesn’t think it’s anything to worry about but will talk to the MDT team tomorrow to check they are also happy for them not to do a biopsy. I’m currently awaiting an appointment to meet the oncologist in preparation to start chemotherapy.
