Yes, I agree, positivity saw me thru my colon cancer surgery and waking up after an 8 day coma to be so happy to be alive. Scans have been clear now for 2 years and I’m glad I decided against chemo due to Covid. It’s been my goal to tell folks we can survive cancer! Good for us! Blessings on your story and happy healthy life ahead.

This was the same for me too. I cannot thank the staff enough. What you need is a good team, good science and a brilliant surgeon. I, too was worried about a stoma .what we need to do is good exercise, a good follow- up, and HOPE. MacMillan are brilliant, but not needed by me. I just pay into bowel cancer UK. I pay my dues.

Thank you for sharing your story. If you have colon cancer, follow up at 6 months. Don’t wait a year. My husband had surgery, no chemo following. He had a colonoscopy a year later & it had returned, same size as before. I wish he’d gotten a follow up colonoscopy at 6 months instead of waiting a year.

Very postive story . I had a 7cm tumour removed and a anterior resection in jan 2023 and also had no lymph node spread so also didn’t have to have chemo . It’s still hard though having to have regular checks and scans and my bowels still feel different than they were . Also other than a tiny bit of blood and slightly more frequent bowel movements I felt quite well when diagnosed last November 2022 so I’ve lost my confidence in knowing if I’m ok .

I was very lucky. My cancer was picked up with the test that gets sent out, Colonoscopy, diagnosis and surgery, just before Covid hit, so 3 yrs in January. I wasn't getting symptoms, and like Sacha, no other treatment was needed. I get regular check ups, blood tests, colonoscopies and CT scans, now down to once a year for those. Here in Spain, they put you under for colonoscopy, so you go to sleep and wake up, it's done. The hospital has individual rooms anyway, with en suites, so it is like a private hospital..

@@rvoiello Here in Spain, I was asleep for it, depends on where you are, so I suggest you check to see what your hospital does. For me the worst part is drinking the prep to clear you out! If you are really worried and they don't put you under for it, it's worth going private to make sure they do, if you can afford it.

@@rvoiello Probably not as bad as an endoscopy, but check to see if they will give you a sedative to take the edge off your nerves, as being tense will make it worse. Good luck, wishing you all the best.
