Hi there, I just wanted to say hello. My husband (41) was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer (spread to liver) in January 2024 - I was 3 months pregnant with our first child. Fast forward a year, 2 surgery's (first bowel then liver) and chemo (after bowel surgery) we got to NED (no evidence of disease) and await our first 4 month scan results - oncology meeting 1st Feb. I completely understand how you are feeling and I search for positive stories all of the time - still now. I'm terrified about the results but we need to keep positive. It's awful to have to live with this and the early days can be so dark so please be kind to yourself, lean on others and as much as you can try to still laugh, have fun and do nice things. Dont get me wrong some days are harder than others and my husband is an extremely positive person, so that helps too but whenever I feel down I just think that I'm grateful it was treatable and so far he has managed okay with the horrific journey he has been through. Its brought us closer and made me feel lucky I have someone I love so much. Its also brought is closer to family and friends too. I found this website really supportive in the early days and I also follow a few people on Instagram. I just want to say I'm here to talk to and to answer any questions you have at all. Xx

January 2023*
