Hi everyone on day 3 of chemo and radio after having a stoma procedure in Nov due to my bottom Cancer diagnosis so am very early days and new to all of this

  • Hello Ren115

    I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with cancer last year and that in November you underwent surgery, which has left you with a stoma. I hope that you've recovered well and have been adapting to the changes that it has brought about. 

    How have the first few days of your chemotherapy treatment been? I hope that you've not had too many side effects and that you're being well supported by family, friends and the health care professionals while you navigate this phase of things. 

    If there's anything you'd like to talk through with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they would be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Keep in touch Ren115 and let us know how you get on. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
