Hello Suziworld
I'm sorry to hear that your sister was diagnosed with rectal cancer earlier this week. It's understandable that this will be an anxious time for you all, particularly as she waits to get a clear picture of her diagnosis and for the team to be able to discuss a treatment plan.
We have some information on our website about rectal cancer that may be helpful to you all whilst she's waiting for more news. If it would help to talk with one of our nurses at any point, you're welcome to give them a call. I know 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.
I do hope that she has some reassurance from her team of specialists soon.
Best wishes,
