  • Hello Mandy-69

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently noticed some changes to your health, which means you now need further investigations. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about what could be causing these new symptoms and if they're connected to your previous diagnosis of bowel cancer. 

    Try to keep in mind that there could be other reasons for the problems you've mentioned and hopefully the scan you're due to have will bring some answers and reassurance. 

    If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses while you're waiting for news, you're welcome to call them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch and let us know how you get on Mandy-69. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,
