I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with rectum cancer although I'm glad treatment is available. Do you know when you will be having the surgery? I hope you don't have to wait too long and that the operation is a success.
Waiting for operations can be scary but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. Other members who have rectal cancer have been where you are now and you can read about their experiences and chat to them about what you are going through on this discussion I have found on the forum. Our cancer nurses are only a phone call away as well if you want to discuss your operation with them. Their number is 0808 800 4040, which is free to call from a UK landline, and they are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
Do come back and let us know how you get on Chris, we'll be thinking of you.
