  • Hi and welcome to the online community although I'm very sorry that you've had to find us.

    I don't have any experience with bowel cancer so don't know if it's normal to rapidly lose weight and to be very tired all the time. However, I'm sure the folks over in the bowel cancer group will be able to answer your question if you join and post there.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then post your question after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your husband's journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
