Living with colorectal cancer - Meet others & come say hi

Hello. I am a 51 year old woman who has recently been diagnosed (Nov 3) with colon cancer. I have had no symptoms to date. After a routine colonoscopy I have been on a whirlwind of blood tests and scans. My pet scan showed a spot on my liver. I am scheduled for an MRI of the liver. Just as I was mentally prepared for a colon resection I am now facing this new news. I am told many people have a spot show on the liver that turns out to be something other than cancer. The waiting is so difficult.

I cannot say enough how wonderful the robot assures surgery went for me. It was a 5 hrs surgery and I was walking the next day. I am recovering so well, and have very few dietary restrictions. Plan to return to work on Tuesday, may go half days for a bit. Thanks so much for keeping in contact and hope all had a wonderful holiday!!

I am 2 weeks post surgery and doing very well! My pathology report came back with wonderful results, surrounding tissue and lymph nodes are clear. This was my best Christmas gift!!! I am seeing an oncologist in a few weeks to see what he suggests for treatment if any.
