Hi not one to usually post comments on any site, but have just been diagnosed with stage 3 bowel/anal cancer that has spread to lungs and liver. Am struggling to get my head round it all and sway from doom and gloom days where I don't want to see anybody, to lets find out all I need to know about the treatment offered. Have been given a treatment plan and when feeling a little bit more together will ask for some advice on how to manage side affects. Thanks for letting me waffle on.
Hi Lin601 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I have a different type of cancer to you so don't have any experiences to share but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post this in the bowel cancer group as you'll find lots of people there whose bowel cancer has spread to their lungs/liver and I'm sure they'll be happy to talk about their experiences with you.
If this is something that you'd like to do, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
