Just diagnosed with Cancer

I'm 40 year old male, I'm not overweight I don't smoke drink but today my GP phoned me to say I have colon cancer and it has spread to my liver. Gob smaked to say the least, I thought it might be a hernia or trapped wind. I have no other symptoms just a dull ache in my stomach, I haven't had any blood tests yet  or biopsy just results from a ct scan. 
 

thanks

  • Hi Neil,

                Sorry to hear you sad news. I to was fit and healthy up to 7 years ago when out of the blue I was diagnosed with prostate cancer no symptoms at all just a routine check by my doctor. 4 years later (2017)  after treatment I was given the all clear only to be told on the same day that I had skin cancer. After surgery to remove the tumour and regular check ups I was given the all clear three years later. March 2021 I was diagnosed with stage 2 bladder cancer and have recently had surgery to remove a tumour from my bladder. I know the bad news is devastating but try to stay positive and fight hard. Sending you my best wishes. Gary
