I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer 3 weeks ago. I have had my CT, luckily it hasn't spread. I am seeing my Consultant for the 1st time in a few days and I have been told my treatment will be surgery and perhaps Chemo afterwards. My GP and The hospital have been absolutely amazing. The thing is, I don't know how I feel. There have been no tears, no anxiety, I just feel rather "wooden" about the whole thing. There has been so much cancer within my family over the years, that I feel it's my turn now. Do others feel this way? i am so confused. Thank you for reading.
