I was diagnosed with bowel cancel a few weeks ago after a tumour was found during a  colonoscopy.  Have been told I will need Immunotherapy to try and skink it before being able to operate.  The waiting for something to happen seems to take ages. I have lots of pains in my bowel and find it difficult to eat

  • Hi There. Unfortunately I’ve found the wait is one of the worst parts of the whole cancer journey. 
    you can’t do anything to make it go faster. 
    all I try to do is carry on as normal. Lean on people who are close to you. 
    the time does pass. It always does. 
    I wish I had a magic wand or Time Machine. 
    if you are having issues you should have a contact number. Call them. Explain what is happening that’s what they are there for. 

  • Thank you for your reply. It was very helpful 

  • It’s difficult the waiting game 1 day at a time and keep yourself occupied best you can xx
