Hi all. I'm new to this group.

I'm diagnosed with bowel cancer since February.  I've done Radiotherapy but it didn't worked at all. Now I'm doing Chemotherapy.  I was told i have to do 6 Chemo. And if doesn't work i need to do 6 more. 

This week i have my 5th round Chemotherapy.  

I also have a stoma bag. 

Anyone here is same as me ? What's your experience? 

Can anyone tell me what diet are using? 

Hope you are all doing ok.

Thanks. 

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer and that radiotherapy didn't work.

    I can see that you've already found and joined the Bowel (colon and rectal) cancer forum group (link) and I'm sure if you post your questions there you'll find plenty of people who are able to share their experiences with you. The quickest way to get back there is to click on the link I've created. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on the device you're using) and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really 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 '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.

    Wishing you all the best
