I was diagnosed with rectal cancer in Feb 2020, the plan was to give chemotherapy and radiotherapy to reduce the tumour but I was unable to have chemotherapy as did not have enzymes in my blood to break it down.
The radiotherapy took place in April which was a week of high doses
I had a CT and MRI scan which highlighted something so was sent for a PET scan which we went for the results on Friday just gone
Unfortunately the cancer has spread to the surface of my liver and stomach so I'm being referred to a hospital in Manchester to see if they can operate to remove it all - if not then I will be given chemotherapy to try and slow it down
To say im scared is an absolute understatement as i have a wife and 5 children and also a granddaughter
Any words of advice would be much appreciated
