Just diagnosed with bowel cancer

Hi, I live in South Wales, UK and I have just been diagnosed with bowel cancer. I don't know what to do, of how to tell my lovely   Wife. I have already been in hospital for 10 months as I wAs paralysed from the waist down, and was in the middle of learning to stand and walk, after 3 major operations to the back of my neck to free up the nerves. Help!

 

 

  • Hello. My name is Sue and I too am almost certain that I have bowel cancer too.I had a biopsy on the 29th & am anxiously waiting for results due hopefully next week.I have just turned 54.How old are you please? 

    VERY  Sorry to hear of all your troubles, sounds really rough. If you want my advice  (??)...DO tell your wife who has been there's for you throughout your painful journey. This new diagnosis must be terribly hard to bear..Even harder if you try and bear it all alone .She will Obviously be upset but no doubt more upset if she were to find out from another person than her dear husband.

    My husband  knows but I really don't want to tell my dear elderly Mum and our son who is in the middle of important exams...Really can't bear to worry them..but I feel I have to once I have a definate diagnosis .It's Soo hard right now .

    I too live in S.Wales .Maybe we can support it each during our ordeals. 

    Stay strong and know you are in my thoughts. God bless.
