I  was diagnosed with Stage 3 Bowel Cancer on 5th October 2023 , I still cannot believe this is happening to me. I have been having chemo fortnightly since November and coped very well. I have no pain , all other health problems have gone , my family and friends have been amazing. 

I have  a PICC line in my arm but found that very traumatic having that inserted. 

Had my last chemo on 26th January, last week and I am just so emotional , usually I sleep a lot after chemo but this time , think I had been worrying about my CT scan that I had today .

i will know next week if tumour has shrunk and will have a date for op. I will most likely have the op 4 to 6 weeks after so it will be nice to have a break from chemo, I am hoping I feel more stronger also and this is just a blip as I have been so positive and have lots to look forward to but think my body has just had enough.
