Colonoscopy results

My husband had a colonoscopy on Monday under the fast track system.  Blood had been found in his poo sample and he has also had various blood tests and he is anaemic also.  The rest of the blood tests were clear.

they have found a cancerous tumour in his colon and he is booked for a ct scan on Monday and biopsies have been sent of polyps they also found.  

talking to people whoI’ve had and survived bowel cancer - they didn’t need a ct scan - does this mean the cancer has spread?

Much appreciate any advice - I’m really worried

  • Hi I see you posted this in Ask the nurses ,the nurses won't be back until Monday but hopefully others will see your post and be able to answer your question about CT scan ,I would have thought it would be the normal procedure to have a scan after they found a tumour so that they can see what's going on ,I'm sure I've heard of others having CT  scan afterwards .
