Hello all.
New potential member of this part of mumsnet and just hanging around near the doorway looking a bit lost.
Colonoscopy 4 days ago found a tumor. I saw it on the screen and it looked horrible but I have no idea where it comes on the scale if how horrible they can be. They wouldn't tell me how bad, I have a CT scan in 2 days to find out more.
I don't feel ill at all. Well, I'm constantly exhausted but that's totally normal for me and can be attributed to perimenopausal insomnia and a very busy life. But I'm used to powering on through the tired and getting on with my full day of work, trying to exercise 3 times a week and doing a fair share of running-the-household (DH does genuinely do as much or possibly more).
But it's weird, knowing that I am ill but not feeling ill. I haven't been given any advice. I asked if I should be eating anything different to my normal diet and they said no.
Any words of wisdom from those of you who have been here before, about what to do/what you'd be doing with these days if you were back at this point in the journey? Shall I just tick along as if nothing happened?
