Colonoscopy results

After my colonoscopy I was told they had found a tumour.  They were doing a biopsy and I also had a CT scan. Then had to wait 3 weeks for a meeting to be told it was bowel cancer. I am going to have Immunotherapy to try and shrink the tumour.  Waiting for another meeting to find out when this will start. Stay strong and good luck

Thank you 3 weeks wow that's stressful, so sorry your going through this , good luck and thanks for replying 

Hi Jess10 They told me after my colonoscopy that they were 99% sure that what they’d seen was cancerous. I suppose they do these procedures day in and day out so can tell from experience what they are looking at - the biopsy results confirmed this. 

The MDT will meet once they have all your results back and decide on a treatment plan for you and then things will honestly feel a bit better. Bowel cancer is notoriously slow growing and is very treatable. I was diagnosed 10 years ago and I’m still cancer free as are many others who’ve passed through the board and are now getting on with their lives.

Ive attached a link to a booklet that I was given at my first meeting which may help with terminology, questions to ask etc.

Hope this helps and feel free to ask anything
