App Description

You will have been asked to download this app after you were recently seen by the Colorectal Surgery Team at West Middlesex University Hospital because you are being investigated for symptoms that may be suggestive of bowel cancer; or you may have recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer.

We understand that it can be a confusing and frightening time for you and your family.

We have designed this app to help you understand what investigations the team may want you to have to investigate you symptoms; how your treatment is likely to be planned, and what your options may be, based upon the national guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

In the app there are a series of icons - and by tapping on each will open up a window with information about topics related to this disease and its management.
