hello Jane , I was lucky to avoid surgery ,my treatment was six weeks radiation along with chemo , the radiation was the worst , with burns to my lower parts , I was told however if this did not work then surgery will be my only option, at the moment I am all clear , though I did have a biopsy last week ( as a precaution )
I hope your cancer is all clear now , I cant imagine what it is like to have a stoma , how are you coping with it ?
Im not sure about you but I do feel like this is a cancer that you just talk about , I've told all my friends I had bowel cancer....... a bit of a cop out but they dont need to know everything, but then it leaves no one to talk about it to , thank you for your response to my post , as i said I hope you are well thank you Julie
