On Valentines I found out I too have colon cancer.

Hi Everyone
I don't have a huge support system, My baby sister is battling colon cancer and all effort and support are on her, as well other family member the are ill, but Im ok with this, but as my surgery is schedule for this next Wednesday, all my effort are been to keep my kids an husband at some peace, This was a routine colonoscopy just to make sure I was ok, all my sibling had it done except me, I just got insurance. Well, I'm stressing because oh my this out of pockets are very costly plus all the stuff, I need to pay ut front until my insurance start to pay, but it could been worst, sorry for the rant. I will like to know how bad is after surgery, Im a women I been in lots of pain since the colonoscopy they removed 5 polyps 3 where carcinogen, one was huge. I Do understand the reason of this, but is debilitating, my babies specially my young one is having many emotions, I tried keeping this a secret but the kid is a smart one. Im not sure how bad, is the pain going to be since they will removed 1ft of colon (sigmoid) I guess they have to removed the lymph nodes, I will like to know what to eat before hand something the won't make this worse after surgery. I stop eating meats since they hurt my colon bad i eat vegetables and soups, I can't have dairy, i'm a tad confuse on what to prepared, for your experiences what should I expect. recuperation, Pain, for some reason Im petrified, very worry, about my kids, since my husband seems like a lost puppy, wish is making me insane, this just started, any guidance will help me.
Thank you all, and stay healthy and strong.
