I am waiting for possible surgery for bowel cancer will the doctors strike affect and delay any operation needed ? will the cancer get worse while waiting , does it also affect chemotherapy treatment ?
Unfortunately I can't answer this question, but if you're worried do think about getting in touch with your medical team to find out more.
I can see from a post you made the other day that you received some good news about your cancer. It's great to hear it hasn't spread and they can remove the tumour, but if you have any worries or concerns you'd like to discuss with one of our cancer nurses, you can contact them on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to support you and hopefully put your mind at ease about what's to come.
We're thinking of you Gordgrc and wishing you all the best with your surgery when the time comes.
