Hi everyone hope you are all keeping well. My mum has decided to go for the bowel cancer operation. It's all happening quickly she went back to see her consultant last week, she had a letter yesterday her operation is on the 30th of December her pre op next week. To say I'm nervous and worried about it I can't explain it... I just hope we are doing the right thing and nothing happens to her.. please pray for her thank you xx
I had the operation and it was the best thing to get it done Try and stay away from Google it doesn't help .Just get things sorted around the house especially in the kitchen . Try and get them sthat your mum doesn't have to stretch .and no heavy lifting .The kettle should be the heaviest thing Good luck .

All the very best to your mum . You sound as though you have had the opportunity to ask more questions for her to make an informed choice .
Not ease at all but her decision is made and I look forward to hearing she is safely through surgery .
How are you coping ?
Hope you are holding up ok .
Take special care ,
