How to connect with other colorectal cancer survivors for support?

Connecting with fellow colorectal cancer survivors can provide incredible emotional support and lasting friendships with people who truly understand the journey. Many survivors find connection through local support groups at cancer centers, online communities like this one, national organizations such as the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, and even social media groups dedicated to survivors who share similar experiences.

Hello Ned I Jamie and I was diagnosed in 2017 with anal cancer. I survived, but the side effects are bad.

Hi I battled stage 4 terminal colon cancer since 2019. In May of 2025 I had my 2nd Hipec surgery and the surgeon found no signs of cancer. Today I still have pain possibly from a hernia they found during that surgery but it’s not clear. On top of that I am lost mentally and struggle with what I’m supposed to do now. Does anyone have similar struggles?
