Hello hutcho, 

I am so sorry to hear you are having to deal with Parkinson's and a potential cancer diagnosis and I hope it won't be too long now to be seen after you were given a two-week referral. Even though your GP mentioned they suspect bowel cancer, you won't know for definite until you have received all the results of your tests and the wait for definite answers is I am sure incredibly stressful for you. I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have had to deal with Parkinson's and the possibility of a cancer diagnosis and that they will tell you more about how living with Parkinson's affected them and their cancer treatment. 

Our nurses are only a free phone call away if you ever wanted to talk things through with them - you can call them on 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

I hope that you find out more very soon and wanted you to know that we are there for you anytime you need to talk. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
