Hi, my brother (mid-forties) just been diagnosed with bowel cancer which has spread to his pelvic lymph nodes and lungs. Just looking for a place to seek advice/support for us all but especially him and his family.
My friend said this is a great community.
Thanks
Hi Picnic Basket and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your brother has just been diagnosed with bowel cancer which has spread to his lungs and it's natural to want to find ways of supporting him.
I'm going to recommend a few forums to join. The first are the bowel cancer forum and secondary lung cancer forum which are great places to ask questions and share experiences with others who have a similar diagnosis to your brother. I'd also recommend that you join the family and friends forum which is a supportive place to discuss your worries and emotions and find out how others support loved ones living with cancer.
To join, just click on the links I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your brother's diagnosis and proposed treatment to into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. 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.
