Fiona explains, 'Bowel cancer can be life changing . . . there can be a real lack of support following surgery.'

Bowel Care Nurse Fiona chats with Stephanie about some of the common questions she is asked across the care continuum, including nutritional advice, side effects of treatment, and support that may be required as patients adjust to a  'new normal'. 

With expertise in intensive care, oncology and stomal therapy, Bowel Cancer Australia’s friendly nurses assist patients, family, friends, and concerned members of the community.

Described as a 'lifeline' by patients and their loved ones, Bowel Cancer Australia’s telenursing service provides patients with access to care and support nationwide.
