Just diagnosed with rectal cancer.

Good morning all. I’m writing as I’m sure hundreds of thousands have before me. Was having some issues over last year and decided to finally get a colonoscopy done. What came back was not good and needless to say I’m scared &&@“less. I’m trying to find some positivity but it’s very hard at the moment. All the immediate thoughts that flood your mind are overwhelming. Never in a thousand years did I think I’d ever be diagnosed with any type of cancer. A large polyp was found and biopsied and they’re saying it in fact does look like rextal cancer. Had the catscan done and a few lymph nodes are affected and there is a new spot on the lower lung. Talking with my new oncologist nurse she said she’s had patients in same situation that have had the area removed from lung if it indeed has spread to there. My bloodwork came back good which is odd to me. I don’t really have any other symptoms as far as anemia vomiting jaundice etc. is this normal or is it a positive in a sense? I know I’m rambling and just looking for support. I go for MRI and petscan hopefully next week to get a more definitive answer as to where I’m at. Just lost at the moment and looking for inspiration I suppose idk. Just need another place to vent and open up. Anyone on this journey I wish the best for and hopefully we can all find a way to beat this! Thank you for reading if you have. I appreciate you.
