Stay strong and positive. My mam was diagnosed with bowel cancer at 79. She's now 87 and line dancing 3 times a week. You can do it.

What stage was your mom dx in? This determines (for the most part) the outcome.

[@DiDi-bm5dt]

Sadly she passed away

[@emmamulholland4858]

So sorry to hear this, sending love and prayers. I knew a lady who was diagnosed with bowel cancer aged 50, she survived it and lived until she was 101!

[@theeggtimertictic1136]

She didn't have chemo then and still survived ... That's great!

Hi darling , I have stage 4 non small cell lung cancer Adenocarcinoma ,, i’m wondering how fast it will metastasized to the brain or other parts of the body and unable to find out but I pray for all the people that have cancer and pray that you’re not in pain and pray to God that you have pain medicine, so I have no pain medicines How are you doing? How was your family? Are you still alive? Are you in pain?😢

My sister died of liver cancer that started in her colon. She was chronically constipated. You and your family are in my prayers. Stay strong and remain faithful. I am a firm believer in medical treatment and miracles. God bless you and your family.

I’m a cancer survivor. Stage two breast cancer, I will hit my first milestone in June (five years). I made a close friend in treatment. Different cancers she died in October. I’m gutted. I also have a cousin who had been in remission for five years. So fight my sisters. I’ve seen miracles happen. I will hope this for you.

[@queenjulianalovesherfatban2064]

I have quite intense health anxiety and I know that unfortunately you can't control who/if you or family/friends get cancer, but I can't even describe how upset and emotionally sad it makes me, knowing that ppl get taken away from the world from stuff like this 😭💜

[@joancalamezzo3209]

The love between you is beautiful. Thank you for spreading awareness. I never had a single symptom but was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer at in 2020 at age 57. Mercifully we become courageous when we get news like this, without even trying it wells up in us... I’m sure you know what I mean. So then, wonderful sisters, I pray you (your dad too) receive healing and comfort all along the way.

Shocking news, and thank you so much for raising awareness and sharing the realities of what you’re going through. My dad had the same cancer and he never explained truly what he was going through so this was so helpful for me to understand how he was feeling at the time. You are both such lovely souls and deserve to have each other during this difficult time. ✨

I can completely relate to the anger you're feeling SJ, I had a huge amount when my Dad had bowl cancer. You're right Naomi, it's one day at a time, one foot in front of the other, attending the appointments and finding joy wherever you can at a really shit time! Much love to you both xx

[@amieclancy3647]

Hey, Thank you for making this video. You are both incredible. My 2 year old son was diagnosed with a wilms tumour in July, he had his kidney/tumour removed and then 8 weeks of chemo and thankfully was declared as in remission in November. What you said about showing up rang through and made me cry because everyone facing cancer is fighting for their lives, my little boy Beauden though brave and strong was very lucky in his battle. His staging plus how the operation went we’re all in his favour and he is no better nor worse than a child who’s battle may be harder to fight or who may not win. All we could do was show up for him. You will get through this, I have no doubt. Sharing your story is inspirational. Thank you so so much. Amie, ireland x

This has been down toy very astute GP. I have been on extended prep this time but am still constipated, am hoping the rest of the prep does its job.
