Bowel cancer

Hi, I had an op 3 weeks ago today to remove a tumour from my sigmoid colon. The op went well and I am making a good recovery. Now waiting to hear about chemo. 

If you are offered screening for bowel cancer please take the tests which could save your life! I am only 56 and the diagnosis came as a complete shock. It can affect people of all ages but can be treated if caught early enough. I remain positive and hopeful that I can recover. 

Please say hello if you are also living with bowel cancer.

  • 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.
