  • I have just been diagnosed with colon cancer a large tumour and no real symptoms other than a bit of blood in my poo and really scared, how did things progress to find out you had stage four incurable liver cancer ? Like you I cannot say i feel ill at all i am waiting for a CT scan and waiting for the biopsies to come back but it has been confirmed i have cancer, stay ,  perhaps when you find out more we can share experiences , stay strong 

  • thanks. I went for my over 50 health check in August. bloods not right told to go back in 3 months...did this then scans. it is scarey. ..i think i can accept myself not being here but worry for my mum who is 79 and my son who is an adult but at home as has some issues
