I've just read the piece in today's Guardian and it struck so many chords as to what I've been through. My Doctors failed to pick up on the symptoms I repeatedly reported over the course of several years (constipation / bleeding / piles / stomach pains) which resulted in an emergency operation 'Hartmans procedure' for a stage 4 tumour and then 8 months of chemotherapy for a stage 3 cancer. My life has completely changed, I suffer with anxiety now and peripheral neuropathy. I too have felt abandoned by NHS and have been through alot of stress dealing with the trauma of the operation / recovery and chemotherapy. I don't want to go into anymore detail right now as it is painful to recall and could upset my day. But I am interested in linking up with others in the hope we can find ways forward together ❤

Hi, like you I have just read the Guardian article which is why/how I signed up. My experience has not been anything like as stressful as yours but I wanted to say I'm sorry you have had so many problems.
