Hello all
After some changes in bowel habits last year (which then disappeared), anemia and then a bout of pain in January, I finally had my first test - an MRI last week. On Monday the consultant rang to say they he had found an abnormality, and was putting me on the 2 week pathway of a CT scan and colonoscopy. He wouldn't be drawn on any more info on the phone.
Today was my CT scan. The green referral slip read abdominal tumour. Although I've been mentally preparing, reading that was a huge shock. I'm 42, really healthy with two wonderful kids. I've not had symptoms in months.
I have the colonoscopy on Monday and I'm absolutely terrified, given I've had symptoms for a while.
Having to be strong at home for my family (my young daughter only finished treatment for leukemia 1.5 years ago so we are still all recovering from that). But I don't know what to do with myself, so scared and heartbroken for my family. And all this during Covid. Can someone reach out?
