Hi did you nor have any symptoms at all?? I hope your recovery goes well x

Hi Piscesjo, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in sigmoid colon in november 15 and had surgery to remove that part of bowel, didnt have to have a stoma bag.  You sound positive, positivity will so so help you get through this.

Hi octopus99.  How's it going? I am trying to stay positive and make the most of every day! My surgeon also managed to re sect my bowel so also no bag although I was marked up for one prior to the op. Did you have to have chemo? Jo 

Yep I had six months tablet chemo. Think they mark everyone up in case, I didnt have keyhole, was in theatre 10 hours, hell for hubby waiting for a call. Are you a pisces?

That's a long time time in surgery. Mine was just over 3 hours. How did the chemo affect you? Yes I'm a Pisces

Yep it was they removed my lymphs in stomach, shaved stomach wall as precaution and took out left ovary which was stuck to bowel. 6 month tablets were OK. Some side effects but nothing you cant cope with. Sandly in Dec 16 a ct scan showed tumour in my liver. Sonow just had 3 months vein and tablet chemo finished couple weeks ago. Will need liver section around July. Ive coped with things, I will do again and get through it. Its bowel cancel in the liver not liver cancer. Chemo hopefully has shrunk it. Im a Pisces too.

Hi glad to hear your doing .well 2 weeks ago i was diagnosed with bowel cancer ct scan reveal it had spread to liver am waiting for mri on liver to decide treatment most likely chemo for liver then op to resection .then an op for bowel and more chemo ..how did you get on with chemo for liver how did it make u feel .i been signed off work but dont know how long .thanks

I have just been diagnosed with a 3cm malignant colonic tumour. Biopsies taken and now waiting for a CT scan, they said all results would take six weeks. This seems a long time to wait. I have had no symptoms at all. I was scared for the prep and colonoscopy but now I'm petrified.

Yes,I agree,  the waiting is the worst thing ever. I can't remember how long I had to wait for a CT scan following discovery of the tumour but i know that it seemed like an eternity. I also felt petrified, a very normal response to an overwhelmingly awful and uncertain situation. However now the tumour has been discovered appropriate treatment options can be discussed after all the necessary investigations. I hope you get a treatment plan sorted out ASAP. Kind Regards, jo
