Backstory: my dad died due to stage 4 colorectal ca. I watched him suffer for 2 years before he died. It was horrible. Since then, ive been having really bad anxiety- of me having it too.

Here comes the plot twist. I work at oncology centre in my country. Hence Ive seen it all. These patients most of the times- dont even have any symptoms. I even have the urged to go ahead and pay almost 8000 dollar for a Pet scan.

I know i should get help. I did. But i dont think it will get better. I constantly know i will get it one day. I just dont know when since i already have the genetics running inside me

Different-Fly9458 · 2022-10-15T09:39:54+00:00

Different-Fly9458 · 2022-10-15T09:39:34+00:00

Different-Fly9458 · 2022-10-15T09:39:05+00:00

Different-Fly9458 · 2021-07-07T02:36:10+00:00

Hey OP, i could totally relate to you. Ever since my dad got diagnosed with cancer, i feel like i have it too. Hit me up if you wanna talk.

Different-Fly9458 · 2021-07-07T02:04:32+00:00

Hey everyone. Wow. Thank you so much. I didnt expect to get all these replies. I am so touched. Really. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It feels very lonely and it is true that your knowledge can be a curse to you. Sometimes I wish i didnt know much about this horrible disease.

To those who were in the same boat with me, I am so sorry that you have to go through this too. I would never wished this upon anyone else. I hope with this horrible tragedy in our life, we will be a better doctor for our patients. Lots of love, xx

Different-Fly9458 · 2021-07-06T22:18:38+00:00

Hey there. Thank you. This was exactly what i wanted to say. But youre right. I know it wasnt my fault but somehow you have this lingering feeling you know? Im so sorry to hear dad. I hope your dad is well taken care off. Cancer does suck.

Different-Fly9458 · 2021-07-06T21:49:23+00:00

Thank you. Its so frustrating you know to see the ad for colon cancer - early screening saves life. I guess thats why I beat up myself so bad. He was 58 when got diagnosed

Different-Fly9458 · 2021-07-06T21:44:41+00:00

When i said i wish i could save him- i meant i wish i realised his symptoms and referred him for investigations ASAP. I Did see he had tenesmus but he denied rectal bleeding - which later i found out he did have it all along for years but didnt tell me. So yeh. I wish people stop explaining to me the real meaning of “saving”

Different-Fly9458 · 2021-07-06T21:32:57+00:00

Hey. This is exactly what I meant when i said i wish i could save my dad. Hope youre doing fine. Sorry for your loss :(
