Hi all did a random fit test kit, that came in the post. Didn't have any symptoms to make me think I was ill.
Had a failed colonoscopy, due to pain, so had a ct scan. Was told I had cancer on 19th Sept and it had probably spread to liver and lungs.
Had surgery on 14th Oct, as my bowel was almost blocked and they really needed a biopsy.
Started chemotherapy on 15th Nov. Was told I had a terminal diagnosis the week before that.
I am trying to be positive but was having really bad anxiety and panic attacks. Decided to go down the antidepressants route and it has helped me to think more clearly.
I have been sorting out my affairs, just so it's done, then I can concentrate on the good things and treatment.
I do have good family and friends supporting me.
I'm going to ask to be tested for Lynch syndrome, recently found out my estranged father had bowel cancer 10 years ago. Have just found out my eldest son has just had to do a test. He found blood in his stool too. Terrified for him now.
