Hello Flower2025

I'm sorry to hear that you were told earlier in August that you had cancer during your colonoscopy. It's understandable that you're feeling overwhelmed by things at the moment. I hope that you have family and friends around you who are able to offer support. 

We know that for many people, this period of waiting for more tests, results and a treatment plan can be really difficult. It's quite common for people to not see doctors or specialists whilst extra tests are being completed. The team are looking to gather all the information they need so that they can discuss your case and talk with you about the recommended treatment(s). This can often take a few weeks to complete. 

Have you been given the contact details for a specialist nurse that you can contact? If so, then do give them a call to let them know how you're feeling and ask for an update regarding when you're likely to have more news. Hopefully, they will be able to give you some reassurance. 

If you'd like to talk with one of our team of nurses for some advice and support, you're most welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

Hopefully you will have some news soon Flower2025. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We're here for you. 

Best wishes,
