Hello and welcome to the community. Sorry you find yourself here, but we are all aware of the thoughts that will be going through your head at the moment. A cancer diagnosis is scary. Even the word strikes fear, but be aware that many cancers can be treated successfully and the early days of uncertainty and not knowing can be the worst. Could I point you to the friendly Bowel Group . There you will find others with experience of this and will be able to guide and support you through this. Click the highlighted link to get to the group. Join the group and post your concerns there. I hope all goes well. Best wishes.
