I had my first appointment with the consultant today. I didn't really get much in terms of answers from him as to how bad it is but was explained that I had bowel cancer that was also attached to my abdominal wall. I was wondering if anyone could explain what it means I don't know the stage of my bowel cancer just that I am going to be booked into surgery at some point and then go from there.
I had thought any cancer that had gone beyond the Colon was a stage 2 or 3 but it I wasn't made clear. I guess with me being on my own when I had the consult it was overwhelming and I may not have heard everything. I just thought I would get a written report telling me what the findings would be.
