I never thought that I would be writing in a forum like this 

I have had all the tests. MRI twice CT scans and colonoscopy. 

as soon as the colonoscopy was carried out at the end they told me I had cancer. Don’t know why but they took me to recovery and all I wanted was a drink. 

eventually they took me to a room and brought my partner in. All I was interested in was having a cup of tea and them nice biscuits. I don’t really remember what the lady went through. Thank goodness my partner was with me. 

anyway to cut the story short. I read the form later that evening. Then the shock set in. I have cancer. I am frightened to death of what they are going to do. As it’s on the right side I don’t have to have that horrible drink again to clear me out. 

I have my operation on the 18th February the day I arrive at the hospital at 7:30am. I have a bag full of prep stuff to take few days before and up to surgery day. Even have to inject myself the night before.

i suffer really bad with mental health and anxiety. I’m having some really bad days where i just sit and stare at the walls. Don’t feel like doing anything. 

concerns are the bit if tube they remove I’m freaked out by the thought of it leaking as the rejoin the bowel. 

just wanted to say high to all of you people and good luck with everything. I’m 62 years of age with very bad arthritis in my knee which makes walking very difficult. Had two heart attacks oblation heat work done and stents. 

I’m scared to say the least. Being put to sleep worries me. Then waking up to what I don’t know. 

bless you all x
