Hello,
This is my first post. In December 2017, I had my first colonoscopy, I'm 56 years old. I do not have this history in my family tree, I wasn't feeling sick just felt it was time for this test. My husband has had a couple and he always came back fine. Not so much for me. They found 2 large masses in my colon. In January 2018 I had a section of my colon removed, in the process the doctor found more cancer in one of my lymph nodes. I started chemo in February. I do chemo twice a month and after the chemo treatment in the "chair" I carry a pump with more chemo for 2 days. I have a port in my chest they connect the pump to. This is all very new to me and somewhat confusing. I never had any symptoms, never been (really) sick a day in my life. Besides some minor side effects, I still don't feel "sick". My next treatment is next week. I'm just nervous that this next treatment and ones after will change my whole being. I'm trying to stay positive, I'm still working and have custody of my 13 year old grandaughter. When your told you have the "C" word, life changes forever. I have shared my story with family and friends just so people can be aware, cancer don't care who you are. I'm not sure what to expect next but I'm hanging on.....
