So I have just found out that following a CT scan that I have probable advanced metastatic liver with primary colon cancer. I’m in total shock as 3 weeks ago I had been told it may be gallstones. I am 44 and wouldn’t consider myself young but feeling a bit cross by it all. I am three months away from getting my Qualified Teacher Status and I may now not be able to finish it.
I’m petrified of what’s to come next, the actual prognosis etc. I would really like to know others journeys, positive support.
I’m happy one minute, scared, then really upset. I have an absolutely super support network of family and friends, but I feel like a should stay upbeat as much as possible for them.
Ideally I’d love for the MDT to say they’ll do surgery and further treatment but the little negative voice keeps creeping in saying be prepared to be told there’s nothing to help.
As you can probably see, I’m in a right pickle and I just hope there are others I can share experience with on here as it’s a bit lonely in this at present.
Hi Lf77
I can see that you also posted this in the bowel cancer group and that you've had lots of replies there. I just wanted to provide a link to the replies you've had there in case anyone in this group is looking to see what other experiences people have had.
Wishing you all the best
