Hello everyone, 

How are you today?  😊

I thought I would revive this discussion so we can all get to know one another better!

What was your diagnosis experience like? How old were you when you were diagnosed? What symptoms were you having that let you know something was wrong? What treatments have you undergone? How are you doing today?

In February of this year, I went to the er to get a blood transfusion for the 2nd time in 3 years They admited me and asked if I wanted to do a colonostomy and oral exam and I said yes The problem was that I couldn't drink the prep and went home the next day

The following monday we tried again at home with the same result and went back to the doctor on Tuesday where he said one more time I had not pooped at all for 4 days and was dehydrated The following Thursday I went back to the ER where they did an enema and ct scan where they found a mass in my lower intestine I was transferred after 2 more enemas to another hospital where they did a biopsy and couldn't get thru the mass The decision was made to remove it and on Saturday they removed a tumor the size of a prune that had attached to the intestine wall and 24 lymph nodes (non-cancerous) They attached a bag and sent me home on the following Thursday

I was found to have Stage 3 colon cancer, had a port put in my chest, and start chemo on April 4

The interesting part is that I am a stage 3 prostrate cancer survivor (radiation treatment) for 3 years now

Hello everyone,

each colorectal cancer diagnosis story is different, and sharing it can help others feel less alone and more understood.

How were you diagnosed?
What symptoms or warning signs first made you seek answers?
And how are you doing today?

Please feel free to share your experience with the other members. 💛

Take care,

Stories about colorectal cancer frequently start with routine screening before any symptoms manifest or after observing symptoms like blood in the stool, altered bowel habits, or unexplained lethargy. Even though each patient's path is different, sharing these stories promotes awareness and emphasizes the significance of early detection.
