Hello you are never alone,there are plenty of people on this site that have had cancer or going through treatment,I had breast cancer and went thorough all the treatments operations and a year of chemo,there are risks in every thing but you will be fine try not to worry I know it's difficult just stay and think positive and keep strong x

Hii, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way at the moment. I know how hard and lonely it can feel at times. I've felt this way too because I was diagnosed young and not many my age are. But I've met so many people here and at cancer groups and we really aren't alone, we may have different types but it's still cancer and in a way we're all in the same boat and can look out for each other ️

I'm sorry you're feeling anxious. That's very understandable. But try to stay positive, I am sure everything will be ok :) 

Sending you big hugs!

Best wishes,

Jess xx

Just read your post and I'm sorry your feeling a bit down ,and alone,its not easy to talk to anyone about things your going through as your anxiety and emotions are fine one minute, and bad the next it is a roller caster ride,that only people going through simular things thst really understand how your feeling,but family and friends do try to understand as we know.

I had to have a bowel resection in 2015,I  was petrified of it all. I have had loads of bowel problems leading up to this on and off. When I was 18 years ago now ( I'm 65) I had to be rushed into hospital, and I was diognosed with ulcerated colitis, I had to stay in hospital for 2 weeks,I was teated with tablets to shrink the numerous ulcers on my bowel, at first they thought I has Chrones diesese.  I've had 39 colonoscopy bowel procedures ,and will have to be checked regularly for life.  I've had so many polyps, the last one was a flat sessile polyp, which had to be cut away in five sections it kept growing back and was then diognosed as being high grade dysplasia...pre cancerous. I had to have a right bowel resection  my appendix was taken away,and also a small part of my intestine. It wasn't easy,as yes they do have to inform you of how many things could go wrong and it was a difficult decision for me to make,as it wasn't actually cancer,but could turn thst way. And there was no guarantees that I wouldn't end up with a colostomy bag,which I've always dreaded,as my nan had had bowel cancer,and had one,and I'd seen it as a young girl,and was so scared I'd end up with one,although there not as bad as hers was now,they are much smaller and neater. But I went ahead and had it done,it wasn't easy,but I got through it,I didnt end up with a colostomy bag  which I was so relieved about. I've also got diverticulitis of the bowel,and suffer with internal and external piles so having the prep for the colonoscopy procedures when I have to have them I get so sore and bleed. But as much as I dread them,and I  hate them, I'm thankful for them  as they have helped to save my life. If you ever feel the need to talk to someone who really does understand how your feeling, please feel.free to reply or to add me as a friend so you can private message me,I hate to think yoir feeling so alone on your journey with your health problems .Good luck with evetything, you will be in safe hands I'm sure when you do have yoir operation.
