Thank you for updating us, Gordgrc.

It's great to hear that the tumour hasn't spread and they're going to operate and remove that section of the bowel. 

Keep strong. 

Best wishes,

Thank you Renata , i was surprised because my tumour was quite large, i have an appointment to meet a surgeon next week so that will tell me more , hopefully not a long wait for the surgery, i must say i am nervous about the surgery but i also know there is no other option 

Hi Gordgrc, I have a very similar scenario to you, almost exactly the same description of rectal tumour and I thankfully have no evidence of spread so far. Surgery is planned for March. Hopefully a date to be confirmed this coming week. I had similar symptoms and although no others right now, I think all the news and the whirlwind of tests has hit me with fatigue suddenly. But I am so grateful to the lovely medical staff. Hope you are still feeling well? Best wishes. 

Good luck i hope it all goes well , it’s scary times , i think the stress of knowing you have cancer can wear you down
