Hi I was diagnosed with bowel cancer about 3 months ago which has spread to my liver and lungs. I’ve had my 4th session of chemotherapy at my local hospital and have not had many after effects. I’ve tried to be as positive as I can and look to see if anyone has had a similar experience with a positive outcome. In the meantime I’m staying as positive as I can
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis but I am pleased to say that you have found a safe place to find some support.
A cancer diagnosis indeed brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helped a lot.
The Community has many dedicated support groups so can I direct you to our supportive Bowel (colon and rectum) cancer, Liver, secondary cancer and Lung, secondary cancer groups.
Follow the links I've created above, join the groups, then hit ‘start a discussion’ and you are ready to go.
You could then copy and paste the information from this first post into your new discussion or you can just join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
It’s always good to talk, so can I highlight the Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 00 00. This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00
Our Online Information and Support Section is a good place to find information covering cancer diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.
All the very best.
