Had a CT scan yesterday still waiting to hear back to what stage my cancer is at and what action they are taking, the facts i do know are i have a 5cm tumour, but not really got any noticeable symptoms that would have alerted me to the news i had cancer , i thought it was just IBS on the occasion i did feel anything as on the very odd occasion i did notice as over the years it was put down to that by my doctor and a couple of buscopan and it would be gone by morning, it was only the fact that i had a slight bit of blood and mucus on my stool that made me go to the doctors in the first place and it would have been all to easy to just pass it off as nothing and not go especially how hard it can be to get a face to face appointment with a doctor, luckily i popped into my doctor in the morning and had an appointment two hours later but i know its not the case with a lot of surgeries from my wife’s experience with her doctors .
i do have a lot of wind now , my stools were a little soft and i would go about three times in the morning which i thought was normal because it seemed normal to me , i have been advised to go on a low fibre diet for now , i don’t feel fatigued nor do i seem to be losing weight so far , i did lose a little weight on the run up to the colonoscopy but that was probably down to the bowel clearing diet , the wait to know the plan of action they are taking is a stressful part , i am hoping for a good outcome but its out on my hands now
