Hello Dolly1,

I just noticed you hadn't received a reply which is very unusual in our forum, but there have been so many new posts recently that as a result your post got a bit hidden. But the fact that I am responding will bump your thread back up to the top. You could also perhaps edit your title to 'Diagnosed now with bowel cancer' so that others with a bowel cancer diagnosis will be able to spot your message straight away.

I thought I would also point you in the direction of this recent thread and Meerkat@65 would be a great person for you to connect with.

There are many on the forum with a bowel cancer diagnosis that is similar to yours and I hope that coming here will make you feel less alone. It seems you feel a bit better now that you know exactly what you are dealing with. The wait for results must have been agonizing and I am glad that bogeyman that was inhabiting your brain went away. This forum is here for you anytime you want to talk, whether you want to talk to other people with bowel cancer, or have a question for our lovely nurses (they're only a free phone call away on 0808 800 4040).

Best of luck with your appointment with the oncologist. Let us know what they say!
