Hallo. Due to have an anterior resection in a couple of weeks I'm a bit shocked as I was told scans clear and just a lesion. When they started to remove it they found nasty cells. Yes biopsy confirmed carcinoma. Was supposed to have surgery on 21st but just been put back to 5thDecember. I'm worried about it spreading to lymph notes but also quite scared about the op. My dad had bowel cancer too. Does anyone have advice about post surgery life?
