I am at the start of all this. After rectal bleeding and positive fit test I had a colonoscopy. A 3cm growth was found and small sample taken for biopsy. it came back as abnormal cells and there are concerns around something on my liver from CT scan. I am booked in to have a larger biopsy and MRI this month to identify what is going on.
I have 2 children (11 and 13) and I am trying to remain strong for them but am really finding this tough. They are unaware of any of this yet as have tried to shield them from it until we knew a bit more but increasingly feel we need to explain this to them so they aren’t left confused or feel lied too. Does anyone have any advice, previous experience or words of encouragement?
