Hi, I've been diagnosed with bowel cancer. The surgeon took most of it out but they found some cancerous cells in a lymph node.
I will be starting chemo therapy soon.
Hi and a warm welcome to the board from me. Great to hear that the cancer is gone and just the last hurdle to go now. I’ve attached a link to a post below that I replied to from which you might want to have a look at. Perhaps you could be chemo buddies?
Take care

I also had bowel cancer operation was last September the surgeon removed all cancer but there was cancerous cells in my lymph nodes.
I have had 6 rounds of chemo, and was doing ok till a couple of weeks ago, my white blood cells are too low for chemo.caused by a bad reaction to covid jab.
I.am due 6 more rounds of chemo and am hoping and praying it can go ahead next week
