    Hi Lavalleej,

    I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I can fully appreciate that this is not the result you wanted, but at least you now know what you are dealing with.

    Have you been told when you chemo will start?

    I am a breast cancer lady and do not know a lot about rectal cancer. If you go to the blue banner at the top of this page and click on the search engine, insert rectal cancer in the box and click again. This will bring you to previous posts from people who have the same problem. I hope that you find this helpful.

    I hope that your chemo does the job for you and shrinks your tumour considerably. We are always here for you.

    Please keep us informed.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine

    I hope you are well x
