Just thought I'd come on and say hi, my husband was told today from one of his clients how good and helpful this group is
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am am always sorry to see folks finding us and so sorry to hear about you being diagnosis with cancer.
I am glad that your husband had been told about the Community and I do hope you find the support you need as a cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.
I am glad that your husband has been told about the Community and I do hope you find the support you need.
I see you have found that the Community has various support groups and I see you have found our Bowel (colon and rectum) cancer group. I am assuming that this is the type of cancer you have been diagnosed with.
This is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.

It’s always good to talk - our Macmillan Support Services provides lots of ways to connect. The service is open every day 8am to 8pm and it's free to call. Clicking here will give you more information.
You can also email them, use the online chat and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.
Our Online Information and Support Section is a good place to find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.
All the very best.
