I don’t even know how to say this so I’ll just use straight facts.
About a month ago, I had my annual physical. I had been feeling incredibly weird the past few weeks and had told the doctor about it. I was having to use the bathroom every half hour and was feeling extremely nauseous. I described all of this to the doctor and they decided to do a colonoscopy. Inside of me, they found a tumor growing in my colon.
They weren’t 100% sure if it was cancerous so they took a piece of it out and sent it to the lab. Yesterday, the doctor delivered the news. I have Stage 2 Colon Cancer. As far as we know, it’s still contained within a removeable region of the colon. There is no current set date for surgery, but it is 100% happening.
Honestly I’m scared. I’m not sure how this is going to turn out. For the first time, my life feels threatened in a way that I can’t fight.
That’s all I have to say. Thank you everyone for being here with me the past few years
Bye
Updates (MM/DD/YY):
4/10/18: As of this moment the surgery is scheduled for April 22nd at 10:00 A.M.
4/22/18: Surgery was a success. As far as we know there will be minimal further treatment. Post surgery scan is scheduled April 26, results are available May 2.
5/3/18: Apoligies for keeping you all waiting. I’ve had an incredibly stressful and busy few days. As far as we know it’s an all clear. They’re going to do a scan every month or so for the next half year. After that is uncertain.
