I think I've known for a while that something was seriously wrong & a few days ago had to come home early from a holiday because I was so unwell. I saw my GP yesterday & after a chat/exam etc she did suggest bowel cancer, I've already had bloods taken, a chest x ray (because of a cough - another worry) & tomorrow I'm having a cat scan. I'm as sure as I can be at this stage that I do have it. I don't have family to rely on & my 2 cousins & 3 close friends all live a long way from me. I'm obviusly very worried on a number of fronts about how I'll cope with the diagnosis & possible treatments & even how I'll get to hospital appointments as the hospital is 20+ miles away. I do drive but of course there may be times when I'm not able to. A lot to worry about & living alone makes it all seem much worse. Any advice would be much appreciated.
