Hi Maud, sorry to hear youre having to deal with this. Im newly diagnosed too due to have operation next week. Very scared but staying positive because of all the positive stories i have read, sending love and hugs and here if you need to offload
HI Thankyou so much for replying ,firstly I must come clean my name's Sylvia or Syl,Mauds my middle name,How long have you been diagnosed if you dn t mind me asking,I seem to be waiting ages for treatment to start,
Morning Kathy,I see yr a early morning person just like myself, the hospital put mine down to Divertics so I spent a few weeks changing my diet I have lost some weight but put that down to not eating as much and cutting certain foods out.im still getting a slight twinge on my right side but since the consultant told me to follow a low fibre diet it's been much better.
Morning Sylvia I was never an early riser till I got this diagnosis but there’s always too much going round in my head these days.
Have they told you why they are not operating first to get it out and treatment after?
To be perfectly honest I didn't take it all in ,my husband was with me but we were both in a bit of a shock I'm going to see what happens after the pet scan.
Wishing you lots of luck for positive news from the scan
Hi Sylvia what type of scan have you already had that showed it had broke through the wall and the spots on your lung and pelvis ? x
Ct scan, the pet scan is more detailed and shows all cancer spots up.
Hi Kathy just came to say hope all goes ok next week, il be thinkjng of you x
Thank you so much Sylvia. It’s been brought forward a day now to Wednesday so less time for me to stress about it, I’ll keep you posted how it goes x
Oh thats good that theyve brought it forward.hope it all goes ok,im sure youll be fine x
