Hello ,  my husband was diagnosed in April, our world fell apart, the forthcoming weeks were hell, but somehow you do get through it, each appointment is one more ticked off,  I'm trying to live for each day, like yourself I'm a planner, had two holidays booked, day trips all sorts , and one by one we have had to cancel, but  he was operated on in may, major surgery Geoffs was in his rectum so has had to have an ileostomy which he is struggling with ,  he is constantly exhausted, but histology reports on tumour were good , and for now they feel he is cancer free , I'm not daft , I know we have a long road ahead, and an uncertain future , life will never be the same again,  but sometimes that's not always bad, I've learnt to appreciate life so much more ,   There are lots of lovely people on here for support, I was also recommended by the nurse on hear of Beating bowel cancer forum as well , they too are amazing 

good luck,

hugs
