Just diagnosed with Rectal Cancer
Just diagnosed with Rectal Cancer
My name is Shari and just turned 58 and I have been diagnosed with Rectal Cancer. My journey started a few weeks ago when I noticed bleeding and mucus. I knew something was not right so called my Dr. Right away. She told me to come in and see her the next day. I did and she was concerned and arranged a colonscopy the next day. Once he had finished the Dr said straight out you have Cancer. Next day I was in for a CT scan. It shows a tumor 8cm x 8.6 x 8.8cm. 4 cm from base of rectum. Good news it has not spread according to CT scan. Yesterday I had an MRI. My blood work was excellent.Now I wait for the call with a treatment plan. I can't explain this but I hav this calmness over me and I have not freaked out. I am surrounded by friends who have or had cancer and my support group is truly amazing! They all have success stories and mine will add to those!!
