So my CT scan was normal and they're 95% sure that all the cancer has been removed and that it hadn't spread. Apparently there's a small chance that it could have spread to the lymph nodes without showing up on the scan, and the only way to be certain of that would be to have surgery to remove part of the colon for testing. I don't fancy that, and anyway they're going to continue with regular scans to monitor the situation, which is good enough for me.
As I said before, I have nothing but praise for all the NHS people that have been involved in the whole process. As the consultant said to me, the bowel cancer screening programme may well have saved my life. I urge everyone to take part in the programme when invited.
Must be a huge relief strolls......delighted for you.....shows how vital screening is and should be done by everyone over a certain age.....it is a life saver.
