Practical considerations
A diagnosis of bowel cancer will raise so many questions for the patient, family and their friends.
Following a diagnosis of bowel cancer it is vital that in addition to all the information they will have been given relating to their proposed treatment plan, patients also have access to support, information and advice relating to non-medical matters. This broadens the scope of support being offered from purely medical care to a much more holistic approach, covering the 'practical life issues' during treatment and beyond.
Beating Bowel Cancer has developed a list giving contact details for more organisations that may be able to give you more support and information, depending on your own specific needs. :
If you would like to talk to a member of the Patient Services team about where to start, and what organisations it might be useful for you to contact, call our confidential helpline on 08450 719 301.
