Hi Lee, I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer on 23rd december 2014, I had a stoma bag fitted january 23rd and then chemo for 3months,I had a bowel resection on 23 july, they told me I didnt need a chemo mop up as they had got all the cancer, unfortunately I slipped through the net and never recieved my ct scan until the following february, which they lost, I never recieved my results until july and the cancer had returned in the peritoneal, I startedvchemo last august and went for a scan 20th december and results on 22nd. Inever expected to be told they couldnt find any cancer and was in shock for a few days thinking they had made a mistake I am having another 4 cycles to make sure there is no cancer left and hopefullynI will have the miracle that I have been praying for. Didnt want to be writing every little detail as I am sure you have enough going on in your head at the moment, Just writing to let you know that chemo and doing everything they throw at you can work, It can be pretty daunting not knowing what to expect but if I can donit then I am sure you can.1day at a time as they say. Have had bad days but the good days outway that, I hope everything goes ok for you and once you have a treatment plan in place I am sure you will feel more positive moving forward, take care and let us know how you are getting on. sending you big hugs. By the way my name is Susan and I am 58. x
