Thank you all for your kind comments. I'm struggling to be positive but I think it's just because I'm shocked after being told I was cancer free. CLKD... Yes the polyp is cancerous, they are checking to see if it has spread. The CT scan and the colonography didn't pick anything up but the doctor said he needs an MRI to check as the polyp wasn't shown to be cancerous on the CT scans either. I'll try my best with the MRI this time. I'm worried, frightened, can't sleep etc. I'm afraid of chemo if I have to have it. You read such terrible things. I even read that it kills 50% of people who have it. I know I'm just panicking. I'm sure I'll talk some sense into myself in a few days when I've got used to the shock! I'm hoping the cancer was contained. I was given the number of the cancer nurse. I rang her and she was helpful. She said it might take a few weeks for the MRI appt to come through and for the results to be back but there was no rush so it DID make me feel that I wasn't going to die any day soon!! Thank you SLKD, you are always reassuring. xx
