Following a diagnosis of bowel cancer, you and your loved ones may have lots of thoughts, emotions and questions. Things may feel uncertain when future plans and life goals have changed, but with the right information and support, some people feel more confident about managing emotions and continuing with aspects of everyday life.
Join our free information event, where Dr Clare Reeder will provide guidance on coping with changes to work and family life following diagnosis, how to support the patient and self-care for caregivers, as well as managing difficult conversations.
There will be the opportunity to take part in a Q&A session.
