Bowel cancer

Hello

I went for a colposcopy on Monday and a 60mm malignant tumour was found on my colon.

Been going to the doctors for 6 months saying i feel so ill and no appetite but also was struggling with blood pressure tablets.

Started passing a lot of blood when going to the toilet at the same time my FIT test arrived. I had previously been told many years ago it was irritable bowel.

Now i am frightened its spread. Blood tests are all good. Had ct scan on Thursday and MDT meeting is next Thursday.

The wait is horrible and my anxiety is through the roof x
