Have been to hospital today for a colonoscopy.  They discovered strictures in my colon and I'm now waiting for a CT scan and MRI scan to see what it is . They said it could be cancer. I'm still getting my head around it all. My mum is in a care home on end of life care from lung cancer which has spread to her bones.  Not sure how long she'll have left as they gave her less than a year to live,that was 7months ago. I moved back in with my mum in 1999 and havent moved out. Yesterday because of doing the bowel prep I didn't see her.  It was really weird as have spent most days with her since moving home. She's my mum but also my friend.  I regard her as my rock. When she dies I could be homeless as we rent privately and my nephew who also lives with us. So getting this diagnosis was not a good thing.  Ile wait till the results from the scans,but I'm not holding my breath about them.
