Colon cancer changes everyday routines that nobody likes to discuss, from what you can eat to how far you want to be from a bathroom. ShareWell has free online support groups for people living with serious illness where those subjects are ordinary conversation.

Topic context

Understanding colon cancer

Colon and colorectal cancer can involve surgery, chemotherapy and, for some people, living with a temporary or permanent ostomy. It affects eating, bathroom habits and body confidence, and some people are diagnosed while they are young and in the middle of careers and parenting.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with colon cancer

Peer support can help with colon cancer because embarrassment keeps many people from talking about bowel changes or an ostomy. In a group, other members have dealt with similar things and speak about them plainly.

Inside the room

What colon cancer groups often cover

  • Life with an ostomy or changed bowel habits
  • Eating and going out during and after treatment
  • Being diagnosed younger than anyone expected
  • Fear that the cancer will come back

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Good fit for

Who these groups may help

  • People with colon or rectal cancer at any stage
  • People adjusting to an ostomy
  • Younger adults who feel out of place in the waiting room

Frequently asked questions

Are these groups specific to colon cancer?

They are not. We have no colon cancer group yet, so this page shows groups open to people with all kinds of serious illness, together with gentle sessions like stretching and breathwork.

Can I talk about my ostomy?

Yes. You can talk about any part of living with your illness, and you choose how much detail to give.

Is this page also for rectal cancer?

Yes. People with colon cancer, rectal cancer or colorectal cancer are all welcome.

Where can I find medical information about colorectal cancer?

The Colorectal Cancer Alliance (colorectalcancer.org) has patient information and a helpline at 877-422-2030.
