Bowel (colon and rectal) cancer forum

A support group for anyone affected by colon, rectal, small bowel, or other colorectal cancers to come together and share experiences. Whether you want to talk about cancer treatment, side effects or simply connect with others, this group is here for you.

Sex and cancer

A cancer diagnosis can impact all aspects of life. We've created a discussion in the Cancer Chat forum to bring discussions together to talk about Sex and cancer. 

People of any background, gender identity or sexual orientation etc can be diagnosed with cancer. Please be welcoming and supportive when talking to others.

We keep this a safe space for everyone. To find out more, take a look at our Community Guidelines.
