Hi everyone,
I’m 24 and have had bowel cancer twice, just wondering who else uses these forums as I’ve never used this one before! Hope everyone’s having a lovely evening x
Hi BooBear and a warm welcome to the board. There’s a broad selection of people on here - people just diagnosed, partway through treatment, in remission and all happy to support each other and share advice and experience. To be honest there’s probably not many as young as yourself - to have had bowel cancer twice by the age of 24 is quite unusual.
You can read and post and clicking on peoples names may show you their profile page with treatment to date.
Theres also a young peoples page on the bowel cancer uk board that you might want to look at too?

Hope you’re doing ok?
Take care
