Had to have stent put in for kidney stones last week, another issue to be addressed next year. He is to have a permanent stoma, as the tumor is too low down to be resectioned, then more chemo. He's putting on a brave face,but sometimes the cracks appear. He knows that we are all here for him. It's not going to be easy but together we will do it.
