Register for your free place at our online support event 'Living with bowel cancer as a younger person'. We've developed this event with a specific focus on diagnosis under the age of 50.
Bowel cancer usually affects older people, so it can be hard to find information and support that meets the needs of younger people.
Join us to hear from Harriet Watson, Colorectal Consultant Nurse and Clinical Endoscopist at Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
We'll be exploring the impact of a diagnosis on:
- emotions
- fertility
- relationships and family life
- finances
- career
- lifestyle
You'll be able to ask our expert questions on the day too.
To join the event you'll need to download Zoom to a laptop, computer, smartphone or tablet with sound and be connected to the internet.
