It is hard waiting. Treatment for cancer seems to be characterised by waiting.

Hi I was diagnosed with rectal cancer June 2017 I had 5cm tumour removed had anterior resection and a temporary ileostomy.I am awaiting chemotherapy.I am apprehensive about the chemotherapy as I have just recovered from the op.Nobody prepared for the emotional feelings that I have experienced.Thanks 

Hi globerry. I started my chemo 8 weeks ago. I have 30 sessions scheduled (1 every week ) and have my 8th one tomorrow. I had the first 7 via iv cannula but as my veins are so small and skinny I had a Hickman line fitted last Wednesday. 

Hi there ive just been diagnosed with stage 1 bowel cancer and have to see the consultant next week. What treatment did you get offered and have you made a full recovery. 

Hi .I was diagnosed august 2017 bowel cancer and had already spread to liver .I started chemo October 4 treatment over 3 months.wasnt too bad was manageable.had more scans and a camera up again and consultant was amazed that bowel tumour has gone only scar tissue was visible.i was told I would have a liver resection and bowel surgery .I'm seeing bowel surgeon thurs hopefully to discuss surgery..liver is bit more tricky .docs have told me I have had outstanding response to chemo .good luck with your treatment .how was yours diahdiagn .my was bowel screening.gp would been useless .

I had surgery in April and commenced chemo last July. I have done ok and am back at work . Everyone is different and is offered different treatment plans dependent on the clinical presentation. Your cancer sounds to have been caught at an early stage which is great regarding recovery and prognosis. Hope it goes well for you . 

Hi, I hope my story makes you feel more positive because I believe trying to be positive, even though it is hard, may help.  I was diagnosed in late 2012, Bowel cancer with mets on my lungs so stage 4. It's a very frightening time and treatment can be tough, so I do understand how you are feeling. I was treated with FOLFIRI & Bevacizumab, then had my bowel op followed by then another course of FOLFIRI & Bevacizumab, finally I had surgery on both lungs about 6 weeks apart. I have had no visible signs of cancer since that time (Dec 2013), I will be under surveillance for several years more but I am able to do everything I did before I was diagnosed. The doctors/scientists understanding of cancer is improving all the time & they are constantly improving the way they treat patients. Good luck with your treatment, I hope it goes really well.
