Hi :)

I am 33 years old and have recently been diagnosed with Primary bowel cancer that has spread to one area of my liver and they have found one node between my liver and bowel that they think is involved.

I'm waiting to hear what my treatment will be, I know it's gonna be surgery to remove everything or surgery to remove the tumour in the bowel then chemo to shrink the liver tumour and node and then surgery.

The thing is, I feel fine about this. I'm just glad that it is treatable and I'm everything is finally moving forward. The worst/terrifying part for me was all the scans and waiting for results. Now that I know exactly what I'm facing I feel positive and ready to fight this. However, whenever I talk about to friends and family they give me this sympathetic look and talk to me like... well I dunno how to explain but it makes me feel like I shouldn't be this positive or feel this fine.

Am I weird?... should I be feeling different?
