Hi I'm of similar age 45 I'm in the same boat as you are I have a lump also in bowel was suppost to go to surgery next week but the docs had a meeting and said my heart is too weak at the min to go ahead with surgery I'm all new to this as only got told about the lump about a month ago so if you ever need a chat then we all must realise we're not alone I'm trying not to think about it to be fair so this is the first time I've talked about it only because I seen your ad and thought there are people similar 

Hello Cee, Tee,

                            Multi Disciplinary Team meetings are standard these days as all specialist sides put their findings and views forward to help assess the best course of treatment going forward..In my case it resulted in Chemo/Radiotherapy pre surgery,since l am still here 8 years on,l have to say that it promotes a better outcome,

               hope all goes well,

                                                David
