Hi I'm sindyloo I joined  when I was diagnosed in Octoberive had my bowel removed in November and a stoma put in. I'm the type of person who gets on and doesn't give and finds a way to cope. Well I'm a carer to so. I dealing with stage 3 no cemo or radiation is that the word I the 1 present it's not going to help only cause more problems. This week I'm feeling crap all my joints hurt and are feeling swollen hands feet knees shoulders even sore. Is this normal or should I tell the doctor  or hospital.. Any advice please

Sincerely sindyloo 

  • Hi and I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling. It might be an idea to give your doctor a ring on Monday just to run it past them and see if they can help? Meanwhile you could give the nurses on here a ring on 0808 808 00 00 for a chat? 

    Take care
