Hi , husband got stage 3 bowel cancer in 2017, chemo, and op was, succesful but lymph nodes were removed ( no colostomy) Did 3.5 years all clear, then came the awful news in October 20 it was back.Had SABR treatment in Feb21, Apparently the tumor didnt change , but became dormant, regular checks , doctors then found another 1 in June in the same place as the previous ones, both dormant at the time. SABR caused damaged to his kidney so had to have a stent fitted.Last week he has had a port fitted from his neck into his chest ready for the next set of heavy duty sessions of chemo., now stage 4.
He is so up beat and positive, im struggling with the emotional side, hes very down the line " Cancer . you have 2 choices, you either survive or you dont , youve just got to get on with it " his way of coping i guess.
Me well, im struggling with trying to carry on with things as normally as possible with his diagnosis , knowing that 1 day it will take him.
