Hiya..has anyone had the same as me? Any advice or help?
Hello Helensr
I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer. Understandably this might be a difficult time for you.
I know that we do have members here on the forum who have been through treatment for bowel cancer and hopefully, some of them will pop along to introduce themselves and share their stories with you.
In the meantime, I wanted to give you the link to information we have on our website about bowel cancer which you might find helpful. Here at Cancer Research UK, we have a team of nurses that you can call to talk to if you think it may help. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. You might also like to check out the Bowel Cancer UK website.
I hope that the team looking after your care has been able to give you some reassurance regarding the recommended treatment options and that you won't have to wait too long for your next appointments.
Keep in touch Helen and let us know how you get on.
Best wishes,
Jenn
