Bowel cancer

My mum has been diagnosed this week with colon cancer and needs an operation however copd means this may not be possible.  Has anyone else had a similar experience is there any hope that she will be able to have the op. We are devastated with the diagnosis.  

  • I'm sorry about the diagnosis your mum was given this week Shelly. It must have been very tough news to receive.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in this situation will share their experiences with you soon but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
