I was diagnosed with Colorectal cancer in March 2024, had radio and chemo in July 2024 finished on 31 July then had to wait 8 weeks for the CT &MRI scans(26 sept 2024 )then my surgery was on the 21 November 2024...due to start another round of chemotherapy on the 31 January. I had almost 4 months from finishing my chemo and radio till surgery...
Thanks for reply. I was diagnosed April 2024 had the chemo and chemoradiotherapy . Had scan and it had shrunk after both treatments.. just heard this morning that they are operating on Feb 18.(hooray). I've got to say I've been fine with all the treatments. Touch wood.. Hope yours is going well. Stay fit. Hope you get really good news

Glad to hear you got the surgery date and I wish all will go well . Anything you want to ask don't hesitate. For me I take it everyday as it comes and a bit scared of the Iv chemotherapy but I a ays tend to panic beforehand .
