    When my mum was first diagnosed with bowel cancer a few months ago, I thought that once the shock of it all had passed and the operation done that would be the hard part.

    Well, hello evryone. This is my first time on here so excuse if it isn't very interesting. My mum has recently just had a bowel cancer op to remove the cancer. All is looking good except all the worries and emotions that come with it. Never had cancer so close in the family so when it hits, it hits hard. So thought writing things down might help, and where better than a site where the readers understand and can relate…
