Hello everyone,
I haven’t been here for a while but I just wanted to post a message of hope. I know how important they are, especially when first diagnosed.
I was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer (sigmoid) in May 2009 (can’t believe it was that long ago!)
I was so fearful at first, especially as we had three young children, but it does get better. There comes a time when it doesn’t consume you and you think about it less.
I had surgery and 12 chemo treatments.
My follow up consisted of yearly CT scans for five years and regular blood tests. My team did not want CT scans to be more often due to radiation and also because they are anxiety provoking - correct!!!
Sending my best wishes to you all xx
