Hi, 

Was a shock I had no symptoms and suddenly I am having an operation to remove a tumor. It appears that the stoma will be reversible in the near future but I have to undergo chemotherapy first. Did others find that it can be a very lonely and scary time of your life. Fortunately my wife and family have been very supportive and helpful I guess the next chapter starts with the chemotherapy has anyone any advice to help through it.

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us.

    A cancer diagnosis can indeed bring a lot of stress, confusion and questions on all the family but talking with people who are on the same journey can help a lot.

    I see that you have found our very supportive Bowel (colon and rectum) cancer group, this iOS the place that will open up your concerns to a wider audience who know exactly what you are going through at the moment.

    Just follow the link I have created then go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab and set up your very own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group and ask your questions.

    All the best.
