Hello
I’m new to this page.
Im october 2025 I under went emergency surgery on my bowel.After all the test it came back that I have bowel cancer and spread to my liver.
I spoke to my consultant and the bowel specialist nurses, I thought i was coping well.
Then I got the phone call to go and meet my oncologist to discuss chemo. After that phone call, it hit me, this is real and happening. Every emotion came over me.
Angry
Denial
blame
upset
I go on Friday to discuss treatment, I just don't know what to expect. people tell me to write down any questions, but when I think about it my mind goes blank .
If anyone can suggest questions I should ask, please let ne know.
Thank you

Wishing you well for the future, I remember mine well as it’s four years since I started my first round of Chemo this week and I was also feeling like you but here I am 4 years later and today just had the great news I’m still clear after my latest scan, so always try and stay positive as it's one of the best treatments you can give yourself 
Have a nice a Christmas as you can
