I'm new here

Hello, , yes this is a tough time the not knowing. But you may be cancer free, and should you get a diagnosis then it is very treatable. Sending ((hugs))

Hi newbie123, my husband is having tests in the week. If I said I wasn’t  scared for him I’d be lying. He has FL - B cell follicular lymphoma non Hodgkin, 8 years now. I’m not very up on bowel cancer, except to say I have done some reading and it would appear that surgery is common with this cancer.

Good luck with everything 

Welcome 

Glad you reached out and everyone here understands how difficult this  point in time is with so many uncertainties.

Have you got dates for the tests yet ?

Hi 

Welcome to the forum . Sorry to hear about your husband. Sounds as though he has already been through a lot . Bowel cancer caught early is very treatable . We are certainly here to support you both should the need arise .

My own mum’s bowel settled quite quickly after surgery and on the whole behaves .

Take care ,

Hi Newbie123

It’s a frightening time waiting for results and treatment if needed. There’s lots of different types of treatment for the individual person. So please don’t worry about an operation yet. It will depend on if it’s cancer and the best way to treat it.

Have you had a colonoscopy?
