Welcome to Cancer Chat PeteF2026 although I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with bowel cancer.

Finding out you have cancer can bring about so many thoughts and emotions so it's completely understandable, and natural, to be feeling shocked by this news. So many of our members are very familiar with the rollercoaster of emotions a cancer diagnosis can bring, so you have definitely come to the right place for support and advice.

I hope the information I've included about your diagnosis will help you prepare for what's to come but if you'd like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all the can to address your questions and concerns.

Do keep posting if you find it helps PeteF and remember, with us by your side you won't have to go through this alone.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
