Colon - cancer cells found in September, had a right hemicolectomy last week, now consultant wants to see me on Thursday. I'm worried about what this could mean

I had an appendectomy and cancer cells were found in September. I had a right hemicolectomy on Monday 8th December came home from hospital yesterday. Today I've had a call from the consultant secretary saying he wants to see me on Thursday, this seems a bit quick to me and starting to worry more

  • Hi Jarob and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I hope your recovery has been going well since you returned home, although I'm sorry for the worry that's been caused after speaking with your consultant's secretary.  

    Waiting for news is always tough, but try not to panic if you can. Much easier said than done, I know, but Thursday is just around the corner so not long to go now until you find out more.

    Our members know how stressful this time can be, so you are not alone Jarob, and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    If it would help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to address your concerns and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    We're thinking of you Jarob and wishing you all the best for tomorrow.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
