I have ulcerative colitis and have been feeling grim for the past 6 months. Earlier this week I went for an MRCP to rule out PSC as my ALP (one of my liver function tests) has been high. They found several 'masses' on my liver. I have been told that these could be benign or cancerous but are suggestive of metasteses. I have a CT scan next Friday and am waiting for an MRI appointment. All the reading I have done (which is a lot!) suggests that I have stage 4 cancer. I am absolutely terrified. I am 39, have young children and although I haven't been feeling great, I am floored by this. Has anybody been/is going through similar? How do you manage to move through life and do your job with this hanging over you?
