Hi all I'm new here and my mum suggested I take a look at this forum. Im a newly 36 year old lol with two children aged 15 and 10. In October 2015 I was told the pain I had for 11 months was bowel cancer 3 weeks later I had a right hemicolectomy and been living in a bubble since as it's not as simple as it's all over now seeing as they have removed my tumour as it was found that there was some sort of genetic fault so I was referred to a genetic clinic where they thought I had lynch syndrome my results from that showed it wasnt lynch syndrome but still a genetic fault of which they are unsure of and more testing is now being done a year on involving my mum and uncle. Im due another colonoscopy in a few weeks aswell as a ct scan nervous much!!!! I have remained incredibly strong for my children and others around me but inside I'm mentally struggling so thought I would join to speak to others that maybe understand abit more about how I'm feeling. It's not a forum I thought I would ever have to join but to make the most of it I'm happy to join and hope I can help others with support and advice.
