My mam has been diagnosed

Hi I've just found out my mam has bowel cancer and just trying to process it. She said they are removing it next Wednesday and they think it hasn't spread. I'm just really scared for her and wonder if anyone has any info or experience of this?

  • A very warm welcome to the forum David-joshua although I'm sorry to hear your mam has been diagnosed with bowel cancer.

    We do have a lot of bowel cancer members in our community so hopefully some of them will pick up on your post soon and stop by to share their experiences and advice.

    You can find out more about your mam's diagnosis and the surgery she's due to have on our website, but if you feel it may help to talk things through with someone then do give our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    For any further information and advice, it may be worth heading over to Bowel Cancer UK.

    We're thinking of you David-joshua and wishing your mam all the best for next week.

    Kind regards,
