Hello Trev1234, 

I am so sorry to hear your wife has been diagnosed with bowel cancer and that a lesion has been found on each adrenal gland and on the right lung. I hope that you won't have to wait too long for the results of the PET scan - it won't be too long now until they meet on the 4th December and you find out more and I hope that you will get some clarity soon. 

How unfortunate that she has developed dementia at the same time as going through cancer. It sounds like next week will be a busy week with medical tests, results and upcoming appointments and I hope that it all goes well. 

If you have any questions or simply want to talk things through, we have a nurse helpline you can ring on this free number 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

I hope that the blood test goes well on Thursday as well as the doctor's appointment on the 9th. This is a difficult time for you and I just wanted you to know that you are not alone here and other members of our community who have also been affected by bowel cancer will hopefully be along shortly to share their experience with you. 

Let us know if you don't mind and if you get a moment what you find out after the meeting on the 4th. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie,
