I have just been discharged from emergency stoma surgery. I have a illostomy

My discharge letter says moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma T4 N1 M0

 

is this a terminal diagnosis? The surgeon has referred me for radiotherapy? He said this was palliative

    Hi there ...

    I think you need to get on to your  G P or oncology team, and ask them to explain your case and diagnosis, as you don't understand what is going on .... l think it's really bad they have left you like that .. 

    But you'll always find someone to chat to on here ... Chrissie x
