Please excuse the arm pit video...🤣 but i thought a stupid/funny video of my adventures after diagnosis with my husband..was the best to post on my return to this page.
We are going through the conjola bush NSW down steep hills trying to avoid sharp sticks and scaring the poor snakes...but why not ...
For a long time I thought it was my mental state from stress...
I thought bloating putting on weight. bad moods..
Was some sort of early perimenopause....cause i was close to 40 and female... well all the social media posts told me it was normal...
But no i was actually losing lots of blood cause i had colon cancer...
When it takes you to get a serious health scare and a big operation scheduled (this wednesday) to really kick back into gear 🫣 and realise the reason you would give up and feel like you needed anti depresants was blood loss and something more than stess !!
So please visit a doctor!! Get those blood tests!! even if you have always had low iron (like me) get extra tests!!
My GP got me to do a colon test.. the nurse even asked...why??
This was not on my radar at all.. xo super grateful to my GP, family, friends all contributed to me going back to the doctor and also pushing to get the colonoscopy done!!
EDIT for those this is new news xx🩷 they got the cancerous polyp out (good ridence!!!) and now im getting the lymphnodes out on Wednesday (bowel resection)
Lets get back on track xx
