First apt with doctor on Tues

Hello, in the past 10 days I have had a colonoscopy and a CT scan, following me noticing blood in my poo at Xmas and from then on.. A 5cm lateral spreading tumour was found in my sigmoid colon and biopsies were taken. I received a phone call from hospital this morning asking me to go see the doctor on Tuesday. They were unable to give me results though. In one way I’m pleased it’s quick and I will know but the thought of what they might tell me is scaring me and my emotions are running away with me. I’m sure we all must feel like this, fear of the unknown and everything!! Do you have any coping strategies to get through these next few days and not worrying my family too much. Thank you in advance

  • To give you hope you mirror me , i had the same symptoms as you , they give me a fit test which was 168 , i had a colonoscopy which showed a 5 cm tumour i then had a CT scan a couple of weeks later , the The MDT nurse rung me and  i have an appointment to see a surgeon next week, they did say my CT scan was clear , an operation is still obviously scary but needed 

  • Thank you for your speedy reply Gordgrc, that’s good about your ct scan. I hope your appointment and op goes well, that all sounds very hopeful 

  • Its hard to take anything for granted but i am hoping, i do hope you have a similar outcome as mine might be ? It throws your life up in the air , i never had any symptoms other than blood and mucus in my stools , i still feel ok i don’t seem to be losing weight and i don’t feel fatigued , do you have any of those symptoms ?
