  • Hi  and welcome to the community.

    I’m sorry to read you’ve had a recent rectal cancer diagnosis, but hope you’ll find it helpful to be here in the community.

    I’d like to recommend that in addition to your blog here, you join the Bowel Cancer forum and the link is here

    Bowel Colon And Rectal Cancer)Forum

    If you click the link you will go directly to the group, and you can join by clicking the “join group” banner going across the page and put your post there to introduce yourself.

    There will be lots of members there who will be able to help who have had the same diagnosis and treatment, but they may not all read blogs, so it’s a good way to increase the number of people who will read your post and give you some answers. There are lots of discussions around chemo and radiotherapy with very useful tips, so if you mention when you post which type of chemo you will be having, that will help you get very targeted advice.

    I hope you’re managing to deal with your diagnosis-I know it’s very difficult when everything is new and scary.
