AWARENESS – RESEARCH – SUPPORT – EDUCATION

Supporting those who have received a bowel cancer diagnosis is at the heart of Bowel Cancer West.

Comprising clinicians, nurses and patients, we have a depth and breadth of knowledge that can help you come to terms with your diagnosis and understand not only the steps to come, but also how to cope both physically and mentally.

We are growing a network of Buddy groups that will spread across the region, where you can meet face-to-face with others who have walked in your shoes.

Following surgery, many individuals have the desire to give back and share their experience to help others through what can sometimes be a difficult journey. From their own experience, they know how good it is to have someone to talk to.

If you’d like to be part of a local group, or interested in setting up a local group, please get in touch so that we can support you to support others.
