  • Hi Bowling and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm really sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with colon cancer but I'm glad speaking with your specialist nurse has helped. 

    As you say, waiting for tests and results can be very challenging, but I hope it helps to know that you are not alone as so many of our members will know exactly what you're going through right now and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice.

    If you have any questions about your diagnosis, or your husband's, don't hesitate to get in touch with our team of cancer nurses. Once the bank holiday is over, they'll be available during the week between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    We're thinking of you Bowling and wishing your husband all the best with his recovery from his operation.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
