Distraught

Hi last year I had whipple surgery for duodenal cancer, follow up all clear and no further treatment required, then last week I got a fever and was taken into hospital, blood cultures report streptococcus gallolyticus, this is associated with colon cancer, I had ultra sound and Ct scan last weekend everything was clear but I'm terrified I've something sinister after being told I've no cancer only 1 month ago 

  • I'm very sorry to read what's worrying you Derek. It's completely understandable but do try and be reassured by your latest test results showing everything is clear. 

    It may help to discuss how you're feeling with your GP or medical team as they will be able to work through your concerns with you and hopefully put your mind at ease. You could also get a second opinion. To find out more just click here.

    I'm sure some of our members who have been in a similar situation will offer their support and advice to you soon.

    Kind regards,
