Mum just diagnosed

Hi, my Mam has just been diagnosed with Bowel cancer, I just found out today. She says it's not spread and she doesn't need surgery but will be starting chemo. 

Just wondered if anyone had any advice because I know I shouldn't have consulted dr google but most information about bowel cancer says in the early stages it requires surgery?? I'm a little worried in case It's worse than she's telling me.

 

thanks!

  • Hi. I have cancer and have always been told that the worst thing you can do is look at Google, the hospital will be able to suggest specific sites to look at, a little information can be so harmful and not necessarily correct for your case. I find with cancer, positivity is key, allow to cry but not for long or it will take hold and consume you. Laugh your way through, it is by far the best medicine out there. Take care xxx
