When I was first diagnosed with rectal cancer my initial surgeon stated colon removal & a colostomy bag fitted but I was so adamant I did not want this so had a second opinion  & consequently had the operation to removethe tumour  & since then no problems ...so stick to your guns - if you are not sure - have a second opinion !!!!!!!!!

    Hi Mary so pleased everything went well and it's true always get a second opinion. I always get second opinions espicially when it comes to my health. About 4/5 weeks ago i got the news i was free of liver cancer after a year of batteling the disease. And it could of been a totally different situation if you didn't look about for other opinions. Take care -Diane x
