looking for on line community support

[jeanjames]

Hi

I wish to say how sorry I was to hear about the passsing of Patricia Pilkinton.I never met her but because of her energy into the Penny Brogn Centre I am now able to contact the group and seek advice and comfort.

I would like to communicate on line with people who have had bowel cancer and share their experinces with my own. I had my operation nearly four months now and most of the time I'm okay.

There are areas I would like to disuss with fellow sufferers.

Learning to live with changes to my body- how it affects my energy - my mental well-being.
