Elie - bowel cancer diagnosis

I got diagnosed the day before New Years Eve! With Bowel Cancer. Not the best start to this year!! It just feels so surreal. 

  • Hi Elie and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm really sorry to hear you were diagnosed with bowel cancer at the end of last year. Like you say, not the start you wanted for 2025 but our members are here for you Elie, so you are not alone, and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.

    You can find out more about bowel cancer on our website but if it would help to talk things through with someone, you can give one of our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to support you and answer any other questions you may have at this time.

    Coping with a cancer diagnosis can be tough but hopefully this will become slightly easier with the help and support of our community.

    We're thinking of you Elie and sending all our support your way.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
