Welcome to the forum Olive although I'm sorry to hear that your ex partner has been diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer.

This must be a very difficult time for you both but I hope this guidance we have for family, friends and caregivers on how to support someone with cancer will help you figure out how you can best support them.

Hopefully some of our members with the same or a similar diagnosis to your ex will stop by soon to share their thoughts and advice, but if you would like to talk to one of our cancer nurses about this they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
