Well I never thought I’d be joining a cancer group but I’m here. Newly diagnosed
Welcome
Difficult days for sure . Have you got a treatment plan yet or are they still gathering information together ?
Bowel cancer caught early has a good outcome . Kareno62 always advises people to avoid random Google searches and stick to reliable sources. The NHS also has a lot of patient information on bowel cancer . Do you know if it is rectal or colon cancer ?
Lots of sharing going on here and people are great at reducing the fear in the early days .
Ask anything you like or join in any thread .
Take care ,

Hi Adorablehuney,
Just wanted to welcome you too but so sorry you find yourself here. As others have said the waiting for results, meetings etc before a plan is in place is the worst time. Once you have a plan you will honestly feel a bit better - hard to believe, I know.
Ask anything, there's always someone who has been there, done/had that.
Best wishes,
