Hi everyone,  new here.

Newly diagnosed yesterday after a colonoscopy. I initially went to my gp for lower left abdominal cramping which actually turned out to be ibs but a tumour was found attached to my colon further up.

I fear if I hadn't bothered going to my gp or had blood in my fit test, I wouldn't have known anything about it. I just haven't had pain there. Its 3cm, and I'm waiting to find out from a ct scan how far down the rabbit hole im going. I live with my dementia mother who is supportive but needs telling again and again which is so stressful.  I am so scared of metastases. I'm trying to ground myself and be in the moment but its like trying to ignore a nightmare. X
