Hi piscesjo

I was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer 3yrs ago now. Had robotic surgery over several hours which was successful, followed by a stomer which I had for 7 months and 6 months of chemotherapy. Looking back it feels like yesterday. The good news is that I am doing very well. I have regular checks, bloods and ct scans. I can't say that I am back to normal but I'm living with  the new normal. I hope your recovery goes very smoothly and that saying 'onwards and upwards' is so true. So effectively I was living with cancer in my bowels now I'm living with my bowels lol.

I agree with you about the bowel screening, please everyone if the opportunity comes along for you to take it, it is 5 mins of your life, apposed to your life! Take the screening.

Hello, glad to hear that you're doing well. I'm also fine and am heading towards my 4 year post diagnosis check up in April which this year will be a colonoscopy rather than CT scan . The last CT scan showed no evidence of disease so let's hope that this continues in 2021. Happy New Year! Jo
