Waiting for treatment to start
I went for a colonoscopy on 27th January after a year of waiting for one. I’ve now been diagnosed with a stage 3 rectal cancer with no spread. My consultant tells me I will need chemotherapy & radiotherapy to shrink it before he can remove it. However I’ve still no date to start my treatment and I’m getting more anxious with every day. Anyone else experiencing these kind of delays to start their treatment

Hi I got my results on 8th February although I knew it wasn’t good as I had an MRI & CT scan within 4 days of the colonoscopy. Hope you get answers soon. I’m sorry that I didn’t make more of a fuss to get my colonoscopy done sooner. Someone said to me recently that you have to be your own advocate.
I agree with SheilaM. Only diagnosed last week but supported my Mum through treatment 10 years ago.
Hi SheilaM,
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you dont mind me asking but how long where you waiting for your results? I had a colonscopy on 21st December and at my wits end wairing for results of biopsies. I hope you are getting sorted now... Thanks
