Bowel Cancer

Hi Everyone,

Reading your incredibly brave stories I almost feel embarssed writing this post. My mum has recently been diagonsed with Bowel Cancer. I’m 24 and still live at home. I feel like the world has kept spinning and my wheels have fell off. I’m struggling to function in work and struggling to sleep. 

 

She is due her operation on the 18th of September and I can’t stop thinking about it. 

 

I didn’t write this post for sympathy, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to deal with this. 

 

Thank-you

  • Life is utter pants at times. Think positive. They are operating. Very soon. They will remove cancer. Your mum will get treatment. It will be tiring. It will be emotional but try and take each day as it comes. I try and remind myself that future me can worry about future information so stop googling and seeking the worst. Bowel babe on instagram is living life to the full despite stage 4. You have so many happy memories to make with your mum. Organise dates and use these as milestones rather than appointments. xx
