Ulcerative Colitis when the bottom drops out of your world: Hope for the newly diagnosed, their family and friends, from one who has travelled the path.

By Chris Goodchild

Been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis? Perhaps someone you know has received the diagnosis? It can feel as though the bottom has dropped out of your world, as though your future has been stolen. Don't lose hope! I was in my mid-twenties and living an active life. I was strong, fit and healthy. Without warning, my life began to be tortuously prised from my grasp until, within a few short weeks, I was bed-bound and convinced that my time to leave this earth had come.But that was back in 2003. Today I am married with four young children, I run my own business and do voluntary work. I'm as busy as ever! UC was not the death-sentence I thought I had received.This book is written to give you hope. There's nothing like telling your own story to give hope to others - I've seen that first hand. In this book you'll learn what I experienced, how I coped with the journey and, perhaps most importantly, what I wish I'd known 13 years ago. Been diagnosed with UC? There IS hope!
