Hi
My Husband was diagnosed with rectal cancer in August. He had stoma surgery in Sept, which is more than likely going to be permanent. He has just finished 5 weeks Chemoradiotherapy and is due to start 3 months of Xelox chemotherapy in a couple of weeks - Happy Christmas !!! Surgery should be after this at some point - sounds complex but not totally sure what it entails as trying to take it one step at a time - which my husband is much better at doing then me !!
One day at a time - though sometimes this is easier said than done …. Looks like this place to chat is really supportive and sometimes it helps to talk to others who have an understanding.
