New member - diagnosed with colon cancer and halfway through chemo

I was diagnosed with colon cancer in April. I had an operation in May. The cancer was a bit more extensive than at first thought an it cannot be 100% guaranteed it won't come back. I am currently half way through preventative chemo therapy.

  • Hello Swankypants,

                                     just read your post and guessing that the chemo is kicking in hard, mentally l remember feeling a grim satisfaction at this in the sense that if it was giving me such a hard time, just imagine how my unwelcome guest was doing, betting that this was not in the original scheme of things.

    100% always felt like a big ask, but l remember initially settling for the high nineties and working at it from there to make up the shortfall, ten years on it seems to have worked so far.

    Stick with it, rather than stuck with it, and just keep moving forward, its amazing where you can end up by taking those small steps everyday,
