Hi. So glad to hear your tumour hasn’t spread and hope you’re doing well. . I just wondered what symptoms you were experiencing before surgery. My husband has just had a colonoscopy and they have found a 5cm lesion which they said was big. We are terrified that it’s advanced and are waiting for a ct scan to see if it has spread before surgery. Thank you 

No real symptoms at all , i had a couple of small blood clots  which was the only blood i lost which is why i went to the doctor , i did have bad wind about a week before or so and became a little loose , other than that i had nothing i felt as fit as a fiddle and wasn’t losing weight still felt like that until the surgery, i had a ct scan and luckily it hadn’t spread, i had the operation which was keyhole and took over six hours they said cancer had leaked to two lymph nodes of the 21 they took out , i then had chemotherapy a few weeks later which consisted of 4 x 21 days for three months, chemotherapy wasn’t as bad as i thought it would be not great but doable. It looks a long road when you first start but time soon flies , i never had any pain from the operation at all.  I had a ct scan about three months ago and luckily it was clear for now , sorry i took so long to reply but my phone log me out 

I forgot to put i was stage three 

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Your response is very reassuring. Glad to hear you’re doing well 

 i know everyone is not the same but that is my account i just hope it is good for your husband
