Hello. My clash with colon cancer started last October when I saw my doctor with recurring stomach cramps. A fit test proved positive and within two weeks I had a colonoscopy which showed a cancer in my bowel. I was seen by a surgeon in mid November and at the end of the month had it removed. A Follow up in January showed a couple of infected lymph nodes remained and in mid February I started my first of eight chemo sessions in tablet form. At the moment I am on session seven and it has been ok. Tumour count tends to fluctuate monthly but that could be caused by the chemo. Up to the start of this I rarely needed to see a doctor about anything so it all came as a shock to the system. I’m feeling good anyway.
