I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. Hearing the news that you have cancer can leave you experiencing a range of emotions and it's understandable that you may feel overwhelmed and confused.
We do have some information about bowel cancer on our website that you may find helpful. I'm also going to tag in one of the forum members gruntifen. I know that he had bowel cancer with some spread to his liver just over 10 years ago. Hopefully he will post to share some words of encouragement and let you know a little about his journey.
If you want to talk things through with one of our nurses at any point you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to offer any advice, information and support they can.
This is naturally a difficult time for you at the moment Petewoo. I hope that you have the support of family and friends around you. Do lean on them, and your nurse specialist if you've been given contact details for one. Try to avoid searching the internet for answers and this will only leave you feeling more anxious. Keeping busy can help and a positive mindset will certainly help you through the coming weeks and months.
