Bowel cancer

Hi I had a subtotal colectomy in March 2020  with 40 lymph nodes  removed as well 14 of which contained cancer cells i have since had 2 clear scans and a clear sigmoidoscopy  3rd scan due in May but I am becoming more and more anxious that it has spread to somewhere else as I can't believe that I'm going to be cancer free in the future so stupid I know and I've never been anxious like this before and know I should be happy everything had been clear so far sorry for the waffling on

  • Hi Kateymatey and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    You really don't need to apologise for 'waffling on'. The forum is a safe place for members to talk about their thoughts and feelings, and how you're feeling at the moment is completely understandable given what's happened before.

    Many of our members have had to contend with similar thoughts whilst waiting for their follow-up tests and results so will understand what you're going through and will hopefully pop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    In the meantime, I just want to wish you all the best with your scan in May. I know it's a little bit way off still but fingers crossed the results will continue the good news you've received so far.

    Kind regards,
