Hello Tubbs,

As I noticed that no one replied to your post yet I thought I might stop by to say hello.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad's situation, it sounds like a confusing and stressful time for all of you.

Hopefully you'll ge to chat with other members who had a similar experience and that will help you with the next steps. Until you do though, I want to share a few pages from our website that address bowel cancer and having a stoma.

Also, our team of nurses would be happy to take your call if you feel that speaking with someone medically trained might help until you hear from your dad's doctors again. They are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

I hope this can be of some help.

Best wishes to you and your dad,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
