Hi,  I had my colonoscopy today,  and doctor has said that it’s colorectal cancer (tumor of 10mm) 

waiting for scan appointment to see if it’s spread.  It’s all very overwhelming

  • Hi  ,

    Yes it is, but once you have a plan in place it will feel easier - I promise. 

    Bowel cancer is very treatable (even curable) if caught early enough, it's known for being a slow growing cancer.  I'm stage 4 and they are still going for a full cure on mine.  

    This forum is full of people who are happy to help and share their stories - if you click on someones name they may have filled out their bio with their own stories ( I have, although I have just realised mine needs updating).

    I hope you get a plan quickly and are soon on your way to recovery.  

    Best wishes

  • Thanks for that,  it’s just the wait to get the ct scan and mri to find out more about how to treat it.  

  • I know it's a horrible wait!  That bit never gets any better, you are in the best hands.  The teams in the NHS are incredible.  Best of luck!
