Hi,

just reaching out to anyone that can offer any advice and support. My partner has just been diagnosed with colon cancer (aged 37) and there has been spread to one of his lymph glands.

The tumour and 25 glands have been removed with 1 gland/node showing cancer cells. He is still recovering from surgery and will then go to an oncologist to discuss Chemo treatment.

Has anyone else been through a similar experience?

Thanks Xx

Hello my partner has also been recently diagnosed with rectal cancer. We are waiting for radiotherapy to start and then chemo, then surgery.

I don’t have any advice other than it’s a bit crap!

I’ve been given some links to bowel specific groups if that would help?

Hi,

that would be really good, Thankyou! I’m just struggling to get my head round things and what it all means! It really is beyond crap!!

Are they doing the radiotherapy to shrink tumour before? We are the opposite way round and he has to wait to start chemo as needs to fully recover from operation.
