bowel cancer

Hi Everyone

I was diagnosed with colon cancer 5 weeks ago. As a fit, 39 year old mum with no family history of this disease, the news came as quite a shock to me which I am still not over.

I am sure everyone will want to join me in sending love and sympathy to Mair. She has been caring for her beloved husband Tony during his long battle with Bowel Cancer - a battle he lost last night. Mair has her family at home with her, but I am sure her alternative family here on Whatnow want to send her our love and best wishes at this difficult time.

Just got back from hospital with mum, she has decided she will go for the operation after all.

Day 1
Well, I had my first chemo 'outing' yesterday. I went to Clatterbridge Hospital on Wirral and was impressed with the friendly staff and their thoroughness and professionalism.

Started my second cycle on CAPOX this Monday. I met my parents for a walk around the park and a drink beforehand, then we all headed down together to the clinic.

Hi, first time on here!

Hi can anybody help i have received living allowance for the past 12 years at the higher rate I am having to fill out forms to the D L A Ihave a permanent colostomy from bowel cancer

What a horrible word! For me, it is a liberation. First of all I have a border collie who makes it fun. Fortunately, I had formed the habit of being the one to take Cassie to the park in the morning. First walk of the day when the world is fresh-er.

Hi friends and buddies

Just managed to add a picture.......................after many hours trying.
