Linda and Shelley : Bowel Cancer Specialist Nurse Team
Inspiration: The journey from 'what I wanted to be when I was young' to TODAY.
This journey was through travel, adults education, NHS nursing (on the other side of the world and back) to building a team who care and wrap around those who have had that heart stopping moment of a diagnosis of bowel cancer.
We covered: Symptoms and investigation: the need to prepare your bowel for endoscopy - 4 days of Senna tablets and a preparation that is crucial but may leave you feeling a little wobbly.
Endoscopy:T he procedure but at the end you will have a diagnosis.
The Multidisciplinary Team that creates your bespoke plan.
The care and also a little bit around the speed at which things progress and then suddenly stop.
