hi there.. feel free to vent on this site!! my boyfriend was 22 when he found out he had advanced bowel cancer.. i can still remember that shocking night.. like a living nightmare!! he told us he had an inoperable tumor.. 6 weeks ago they operated on him and removed it all! he had chemo for what seemed like ages then radiotherapy for around 12 weeks.. all in all was good results! hes now having liver surgery as we speak then the plan is to do the lungs.. a long and lengthy process yes indeed but definatly worth the end result!! he was also left with a permanent stoma which was really hard in him but he didnt have a choice.. being so young and going through this is the worst, but having a great support network makes all the difference.. never give up hope! im always here for a chat when you need to talk.. you will have a lot of down days but good ones to!! lean on those people that will let you and forget the ones that wont.. you are stronger than you know 🙂 good luck with the chemo!! my poor guy had so many probs with his pic line (is that what you have?) he kept getting rashes and it kept coming out!
all the best 🙂
