Colon cancer diagnosis

My mum was diagnosed with colon cancer two weeks ago, due to a blockage she had emergency surgery to remove the tumor, and is now at home recovering, in her discharge notes in mentions that nodules have been found in the lungs, but no one has mentioned what further treatment is needed. They told me that they had sent biopsies from the tumour of, but how long does it normally. Thank you

  • Hi Claire,

    I am also waiting for biopsy results, and have been told that they typically take 10-15 days. Try not to worry, and just be there for your Mum. It helps so much to have a quiet, calm and loving presence while recovering from surgery. Remember that she is likely scared, and needs you to remain positive.

    All the best to you both.
