Hey, I’m jessie and I’m 26. I have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer. I have finally got my surgery date which is a week today. I wondered if anyone could give me any tips with the build up to surgery? Thank you xx (my surgery is 28th Jan - next Monday) 

  • Hi Jessie,

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

    We do have some information on our website about preparing for surgery I thought I'd send you and I hope this can be of some help.

    Also, feel free to give our cancer nurses and ask any question you may have. Their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9 a.m - 5 p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Good luck with your surgery!

    Best wishes,

    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
