I have just done my 2 yearly bowel cancer screening and it is positive I am really worried
Hi KMB 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 Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I know how worrying it is when a test proves positive.
The online community is divided into different support groups and I can see you've already found and joined the bowel cancer group where you'll connect directly with others who have also had a positive result from screening.
When you feel ready you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
Wishing you all the best
