Hello CJF, as per my thought your friend should try out every possibility and try to consult with experts to get some valuable advice.

Well it has been so long that I had forgotten about this great place for support and stories of strength :)
I'm back and I have fought colorectal cancer all the way.
My temp stoma was reversed Oct 2014 and I'm getting used to the "new normal" and went back to full time duties as a Personal Trainer (at times that is a little interesting).
Last CT Scan revealed "something" at the original surgery site but thankfully there has been no mets abdo or pelvis (happy dance). PET scan has been organised for next week - a little apprehensive but the outlook is positive. More news later............
I'm looking to connect with other survivors 50 years and younger as I'm not finding joy in support for my age group.

Today is it. The last day of RT and chemo before surgery.
I was told I was in for a rough ride initially but you cannot prepare yourself for the pain, sleeplessness, burning, and frequency of visiting the loo.
To describe the pain - it's like sitting on a white hot coal, dipped in acid and rolled in glass. It's horrible!!.
Walking with my wife to a work Christmas party I laughed as it looked like she was walking a monkey - you know that wide-crotched waddle walk they do? Well that was me! Lasted all of 20mins at the party then home.
Even had more fun that night with a trip to hospital in the ambulance as I had a fever and the chills - not good when on chemo (febrile neutropenia). A short 4hr stay with a course of antibiotics and I was home. Now if I could only just shake this bronchitis as coughing causes leaking issues.
Looking forward to being untethered from the 5-FU through PICC. Some I know gave their bottle a name - me, I just didn't want to get attached (hehehe).
