Hi, I'm new here. My dad has got bowel cancer and vascular dementia. It's all happening so fast.
Hi and welcome to the board although I’m sorry to hear about your dads diagnosis. Has he had his scans and results? This initial few weeks is a whirlwind of scans, bloods,meetings etc. but it’s all necessary to give the consultants all the information that they need to get the best treatment plan in place for your dad. Once there is a plan in place then things will feel a little better.
Please stay away from google - it is scary and out of date - you can ask anything you want on here and we’ll be happy to help.
If you want to have a chat to the nurses on the board they are available every day from 8-8 on 0808 808 00 00
Take care
