Rectal cancer

Hi I have been diagnosed with rectal cancer with lots of  swollen lymph nodes.

 I’m unsure as to what stage my cancer is classed as?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks Shirley

  • Hi Shirley, I was diagnosed  with colorectal cancer in August, I decided to not have an operation as it involved removing my bowel, bladder and prostrate. MY Cancer is stage 3, I am still waiting for radiotherapy as the best they can do is try and shrink the tumour and give me a few more years. Don't hesitate to ask questions and write them down for when you visit consultant. So far my mind is all over the place but help is available.

    Wish you the best
