The very next day it fully obstructed my bowel and I had emergency surgery to remove the tumour and lymph nodes. I was diagnosed with an Adenocarcinoma T3-N2 stage 3. I now have an ileostomy which I will have for the duration of chemotherapy which will be 6 months. I have no family history and had very little symptoms. I am starting chemo (Folfox)next week. I would love to hear from anybody as I am so new to this cancer thing. I am doing ok and slowly but surely my family is coming to terms with the situation.
