Colon cancer

3 weeks ago had a 5cm cancer removed from sigmoid colon and now have stoma. I could deal with that fine but then had the phone cal to say that all 15 lymph nodes taken had cancer. I am so sad

  • My husband has his tumour removed 3 weeks ago but we have been told when they were in there they saw how it has spread ti hus periteneum. I am sick with worry as ive done too much googling! We have not has results of biopsys yet but also sounds like its spread to his lymph nodes. Its such a sas time. Like you dealing with his ileostomy has been fine but the news of the spread is so scarey. Hope you are ok and maybe can chat and share. Hooe you and my husband have some better resulrs and news.

  • Thank you for your reply and I understand how scary this is for your hudband and you, especially.  I am finding all so difficult as I lost my husband 3yrs ago and all this was found through the postal bowel screening kit with no symptoms or signs whatsoever and although I am so lucky to have many supportive friends and a wonderful daughter when I close my doors at night I am left alone with my own thoughts and fears. I speak to the oncologist on Thursday so will have more information then. Good luck and healing thoughts to you and your family
