Hi this happened to me also only mine was found because I have a hernia and they were investigating for gall stones and found the nets on my liver first then the colon tumour. I’m due to have surgery 12th November and really worried here to chat if you need to

Hi Wendy,

thanks for responding. Your thread was the main reason I decided to share. I know we don’t have any real answers right now but it would be good to share how we are feeling and what is happening. It makes me feel a bit better knowing people are out there who can understand what it’s like. Clare 

Hi getting that diagnosis must be very frightening especially as you had a Colonoscopy 2 years ago which they told you was clear ,I also had a clear Colonoscopy 2 years ago but have recently been to my GP as still having symptoms of diarrhea ongoing , I may have to have another Colonoscopy to put my mind at rest although I am kind of worried about it ,it could be something else as fit test I did recently was acceptable as they say ,I hope all goes well for you ,its better find out than not but still very worrying .

Hi Clare

have they given you a grade for the Colin/ bowel tumour mine is grade 1 which did not show on the bowel screening test that you do at home and send away it was found because the liver surgeon had spotted from my scans. 
one thing I have found is that things are not quick I started with scans etc in March which is really frustrating but it might be down to where you live as to speed as I have spoken to others who have been dealt with quickly. 
I am 51 by the way will be 52 two days after my surgery so nice birthday in hospital which I am maybe taking as a positive I totally get the worry with kids I have an 18 yr old who has coped really well my husband has been another matter. 
I live in wales and am being looked after by Liverpool they are brilliant although I had to go to London for the PET scan as the nhs there has the only working machine as I needed a gallium scan but the wait was about a week even though they said six that’s another thing sometimes they give you the worst case timeframe which can be worrying. 
I have 4 mets on the right if my liver in four sections and one in the left so they are gonna remove 4 sections of the right of my liver which is most of it and then extract the met from the left they are saying it will cure which is good. And then the colon surgery at the same time which they hope I will need a bag for a short time if they can’t reattach on the day. 
from what I have been told although scary there are worse things to have than this and they can do amazing things and our livers can do amazing things it’s just been the wait for me it seemed ages till it was clear and I ended up going off work in July to spend time with my daughter. Oh I also did not have sunburn do have pain in my liver now but that’s because I also have a benign tumour which is growing in one of the sections and causing pressure as you say the gift that keeps giving. Sorry I’ll stop now it’s just good to find those in the totally same situation private message me if you need to

Not sunburn symptoms I meant 

Hi Jenny, how are you? Did you get your other colonoscopy? Clare

Hi no not yet I've still got ongoing diarrhea I have an appointment with GP on 18th October , I've tried everything to try and get diarrhea to stop but no matter what I eat or don't eat it doesn't get any better ,the Doctor I need to see is only part time so its a wait ,I'll let you know what happens .

I'm sorry to hear about the diagnosis you have, I like you was first made aware of colerectol cancer with the test through door . I was very lucky to have a speedy pathway through the cancer pathway. I had colonoscopy followed straight away with scans and firm diagnosis within 3 days. I had surgery to remove the tumor a few weeks ago and numerous lymph nodes removed at same time. Some of which are positive but again a speedy response and I am due to undergo chemo this coming week ...I have every confidence that I will beat this and you can too reach out to everyone around you they will want to support you on this path .sending very best wishes 

Hi for those that were following this post and others I have had my surgery two days before my birthday which was a blur I’m four days on now and am slowly starting to feel I can do things although not been the dredded toilet yet. I won’t lie I feel like I’ve been ran over by a train and come out the other end but the surgeons were amazing taking 16 tumours from my liver and the one in my colon so hopefully going forward all will be positive although it has changed my outlook on life and happiness and how I’m going to live going forward I really feel like I have been given a second chance. For those unclear of a diagnosis or plan do your prep for the operation so you are as fit as possible that definitely appears to have worked for me and helped. Happy to chat to anyone that may be worried our bodies are amazing and can deal with so much x
