Hello Libra-84

I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. It sounds like it's been a difficult time for you. 

We have some information on our website here about rectal cancer which may be helpful for you but I also wanted to suggest using the forum search function (magnifying glass at the top of the page) to search for the term "rectal cancer". You'll see that there are lots of posts where members share their experiences. I'm sure you'll be able to connect with others through those posts. I am going to tag in one of our regular members [@gruntifen]‍ (Hope that's ok David! :happy: ) as I know that he has been through chemotherapy and radiotherapy along with various other surgeries and treatments over the years. Hopefully, if he sees your post he will pop along to say Hello. 

You may also want to give our team of nurses a call to talk things through. If you would like to chat with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040 and I'm sure they will do their best to give you some advice and support. 

I hope this helps. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
