Hi I'm new to the group.
Diagnosed colon cancer, had surgery in September. Currently 4/8 cycle of oxaliplatin and Capecitabine. Anyone else in a similar position.
Take care,

I’m so sorry you are going through this I hope you get some relief and comfort and the all clear soon. Please may I ask did you do a FIT stool test at all and if so did you score high? I’ve recently tested wit a high positive and a bit worried
Hello Zazza,
I didn't have any of the usual symptoms but I did get a routine NHS stool test through the post, which I did. When I was in hospital having my operation it came back with a positive result, so worth doing the test.
Take care,
Jayne
Thank you, was it a high positive or a low positive? I’m just trying to stay hopeful that even though I got a high positive it will still be ok
Mine didn't say high or low just showed concern. A CEA blood test and scan confirmed my tumor. I was also anemic which I wasn't aware of until I went to hospital.
Hope that helps.
