My journey so far

60 years old. Had bowel screening kit sent to me. Finally decided to do the sample and a couple of weeks later had to go for a colonoscopy. There they could only go part way up the bowel and the blockage looked cancerous. It was confined and a few days later went for an operation and had part of my bowel removed. Now waiting to see what the strategy will be for chemo. 
 

its great to have this forum to share my fears
