Hello Monkey16,

I am so sorry to hear your mum has been diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer but it is great that the chemotherapy is working well.

You have come to the right place to meet others who have supported a loved one after a bowel cancer diagnosis. It is normal to feel that this has had a devastating effect on your family and I hope you manage to all be there for one another during this difficult time.

Talking to others here who are currently going through a similar experience as you at the moment can help. You can search for other discussions on the forum by clicking  'search forum' in the blue banner and entering keywords such as 'bowel cancer'. I had a little look for you and found for example [@alex34]‍  whose dad has also recently been diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer and who was also looking to connect with others. You can read [@alex34]‍ 's story here and feel free to respond if you wish and share your own experience.

Very best wishes to you, your mum and your family,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
