Further update. My scans came back and show that luckily there is no spread to other parts of my body. There may be a slight attachment to my bowel but they seem to think the radio and chemotherapy will sort that ?
Waiting to hear now when I will start treatment. Five weeks of five days radiotherapy and one of those days each week I'll get chemotherapy too.
Slight spanner in the works when the nurse told me today they have identified a thyroid problem ?? She said it's not linked to the cancer and they often find this when they do extensive tests.
Not sure what will happen with that as apart from difficulty in losing weight and slightly dry skin I don't seem to have any of the typical symptoms.
