Bad News

Hey all - just an update. 
 

i had my consultation on Wednesday with the surgeon and unfortunately I'll be undergoing a sigmoid colectomy on Tuesday. The polyp removed was cancerous and under the microscope / biopsies it's concerning them and they can't be sure it's not in the surrounding bowel. 

 

It will then be referred for genetic testing as I'm only 35F so unusual to have a bowel cancer. Very anxious but staying positive it's not spread or in the lymph nodes.

  • Hello Stacy86

    I'm so sorry to hear that the news you had last week wasn't the positive news you'd hoped for. 

    I just wanted to post a message to wish you well for your surgery tomorrow. I hope that things go smoothly and that the team is able to give you some reassurance post-operatively. 

    I know you will have a lot of things occupying your mind over the coming days and weeks. Know that we're here to support you if needed. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
