Lost

Partner has had 3 interventions since last new year. Radio/chemotherapy weekly for six weeks. Further abnormal masses observed. Jan this year surgery to remove anus and surrounding tissue and coming to terms with stoma. Additional mass observed. Recent surgery to remove potion of ileum, removal of coccyx and back of vagina. Histology samples have revealed microscopic activity. More wait and see but this feels like death by a 1000 cuts - worried

  • Hello NJD101

    I'm so sorry to hear about all that your partner has been through since last New Year. It sounds like it's been an incredibly difficult time for you both and I can imagine that it feels very overwhelming at times. 

    Does your partner have another upcoming appointment with the specialists who have been looking after them? Hopefully, they will be able to give you some answers and clarity when you speak with them. 

    In the meantime, if it would help to chat with one of our nurses, you're most welcome to call them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch with us here in the Cancer Chat community if it helps to have a safe space to put down in writing how you're feeling. We're here for you. 

    Sending you both my best wishes, 
    Jenn
