Bowel cancer.

It went from constipation to a blockage in my bowel overnight. 

The growth was removed by key hole surgery and yes it was cancer which was completely removed. 

Now we come to chemo. I've just found out the enormity of it.

I'm terrified.

  • Having had surgery on my bowel, followed by chemotherapy, I wish you every success in this next stage of your treatment. Many people have minimal, manageable side effects but others are less fortunate.  What I would say is be sure to let your team know if you experience any side affects, however minor they may seem. Doses can be adjusted where necessary.

    Best wishes to you.
