Just been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer?

Have you been recently diagnosed with bowel cancer or suspected to have bowel cancer?

This may occur in three scenarios 1) diagnosed at colonoscopy by a gastroenterologist or surgeon 2) picked up on CT imaging of your abdomen due to abdominal pain or vomiting or altered bowel habits or rectal bleeding 3) FOBT positive blood in stool test.

Often this would be an extremely unnerving time filled with anxiety nervousness and at times a sense of impatience in wanting to have things resolved quickly.

Quite often, your GP or gastroenterologist or surgeon may have referred you to their preferred provider and very often this would have been followed with a phone call to directly arrange your new colorectal consultation for the suspected bowel cancer. You do not have to stick with this arrangement.

It is important to make good decisions without delay. It is important to act fast but not so fast that you miss opportunities to listen and investigate your options of choosing your surgeon.

Do your own due diligence and choose a colorectal surgeon whom you can communicate effectively with, address your concerns, and most importantly give you the hope of cure.
