Introduction
This information booklet has been written to help you
understand more about cancer of the colon and rectum (large
bowel). We hope it answers some of the questions you may have
about its diagnosis and treatment, and addresses some of the
feelings which are a large part of anyone's reaction to a
cancer diagnosis.
We can't advise you about
the best treatment for yourself because this information can
only come from your own doctor, who is familiar with your full
medical history.
At the end of this
booklet you will find a list of other CancerBACUP
publications, some useful addresses and recommended books.
