Hi my name is Lorna and I had colorectal surgery in 2021 to remove g3 tumour and 39 lymph glands. I had further polyps removed during colonoscopy 6 months after surgery. I have 6 monthly CT scans to monitor . I would be interested to share discussions with others who have had similar condition to myself as a means of support .

Welcome @lollipop8. (I love your username). It is great to have someone like you who has been through diagnosis and treatment to help support members new to colorectal cancer.

Had cancer spread to any of the lymph nodes that were removed? Did you have chemotherapy after surgery?
