Hello! 
So today is diagnoses day for me, bowel cancer with a possibility spread to liver and lymph node. Further scans this week and surgery booked for next week.

Huge whirlwind for me, after over a year being miss diagnosed and finally forcing my GP (after a year of miss diagnoses and then 2 positive FIT tests) to refer me for a colonoscopy, I have bowel cancer. Feeling very angry and frustrated but that won’t help me here. I have a PET scan and MRI this week, surgery booked for next week so super quick!

Im 42 years old, personal trainer and nutrition coach so prognosis look ok. But I'm so new to this and it’s not common for someone of my age. 

Keen to chat with anyone in a similar boat to me!
