I have recently had surgery and now have a stoma, awaiting a date for reversal. I am due a scan on my lungs soon to check for anything. If I can help anyone else who is going through something similar, I am here.
I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been through surgery for rectal cancer. I hope that your recovery is going smoothly and that you're learning to live with the temporary stoma you've been given. Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for your scan, and the specialists will be able to give you some reassurance.
I can see that you've also posted in our Ask the Nurses topic area and had a response from them. Do feel free to give them a call if you have questions at any point. 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 Fizzyowner, and let us know how things go.
Sending my best wishes, Jenn Cancer Chat moderator
