Partner has stage 4 bowel cancer liver mets permanent colostomy

Hi Everyone, I've come here in the hopes of finding a few friends to talk to that are in similar situations. I am 30 and my 28 yr old partner has bowel cancer with liver mets. He's currently in hospital after the first of three surgeries and I'm not coping very well. Thought someone in the same situation would be helpful to talk with and find support with one another.

HI KellyK I am not in the same situation as you however did go through bowel cancer (stage 2) at age 30 back in 2010. I had a colostomy bag for a while which has now been reversed. Im not sure if I can be any support for you or not but thought I would send you a message to see how you are going. Regards Stacey
