Hi there,

I'm getting a little concerned about a delay in surgery.

Having had my initial consultation at the end of October 2019, I received the diagnosis of T2N1 colorectal cancer in mid December. But the MRI scan also showed an englarged prostate for which biopsies were taken (utterly horrible) last week. The urology department are fastracking the results hopefully in time for the MDT meeting this Wednesday, but all this is delaying surgery and I'm booked at the moment for 30th of January, over 3 months after my first consultation. The team are fantastic and doing their best to reassure me that the delay will not affect the success of the surgery, but I'm really scared that the tumour has advanced and is spreading.

Can anyone advise on how fast bowel cancer spreads? 

Thanks
