My mum told me last week that she had had a colonoscopy because of blood being found in her bowel cancer screening test. Then she said she had to have a CT scan and a MRI and that it's likely she'll have to have an operation. She hasn't said she's been diagnosed but from what I've read on the NHS website the CT scan and MRI are only done to ser how far advanced the cancer. She was very reluctant to say about the tests and I don't really know what to think or how to help her. She's 72 and my dad is no help at all. I want to be there for her but I don't know what to do for the best
