About Coconut

I’m just 57 with a lovely husband, three dogs and two horses. I don’t really want to describe the cancer side of my life. It’s probably evident, as I’m here, that it’s pretty bad. Briefly...I went to the doctor in April with changes to my pooing habit. After a few test, she said I was ok. It’s definitely NOT cancer. Well surprise, surprise it turns out she was wrong. I struggled for two and a half months thinking it was IBS diverticulitis etc before going back, seeing a different doctor and getting a colonoscopy appointment. The cancer is in my colon, liver and a tiny tumour in my lung too. Not yet started any treatment.
