Here for advice, support and to connect with people who might help me on my journey
Hi Double G and sorry to hear about your concerns.
This New to Community area is like our reception desk where we look to try and direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support.
As you know the Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms).
I do see that you have already joined and been posting in our dedicated……
Ileostomy, colostomy and stoma support
…… support group.
You may also want to join and post in our dedicated…..
Bowel (colon and rectum) cancer
….. support group.
These grouts are safe places to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
The Macmillan Support Line is open between 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00…… this service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.
Talking to people ‘face to face’ can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
