Bowel cancer

I have just recently been diagnosed with colorectal cancer ( (just a week ago ) I've yet to find out what stage it's at or if it's spread , all scans done just waiting on results , my first appointment with my oncologist is in 2 weeks time and to say I am absolutely terrified is an understatement , so much so that I'm having panic attacks , all my family and close friends have been amazing and I'm trying to put on a brave face , I just can't let it sink in that I have cancer I'm also googling way too much which isn't helping

    I'm so sorry you both have been diagnosed with bowel cancer. It must feel like torture waiting to find out what stage you are on. Remember that you can use this chat any time to let out your thoughts and feelings and talk to each other.

    Do you mind sharing how old you are? I'm on a waiting list for suspected bowel cancer but I'm 20 so guessing it's rare at this age.
