My son has just been diagnosed
Hi Rosie13 and a warm welcome to the board. There’s lots of experience and support here. Does your son have a treatment plan in place yet? Bowel cancer is notoriously slow growing but very treatable. Stay away from google - it can be scary and out of date - you can ask anything you like on here and we’ll try our best to help you
Take care

Hi Rosie13 Yes it’s easy to get confused with google and a lot of the information is out of date. My tumour was 40mm but size is not an indicator of severity. The scans will check if there’s any spread but there is still treatment available if that is the case.
Please let us know how it goes on Wednesday?
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
