What previous attendees have said about our online support events
I felt included and definitely encouraged that Bowel Cancer UK was there to get sensible advice in my future journey.
This event enabled me to talk to medical professionals with more knowledge about bowel cancer and recovering from it.
The spirit of not being on one's own was very evident and very comforting. Really well chaired/managed – perfect pace and tone. Brilliant selection of top class guests.
