my husband was diagnosed with bowel cancer in january 2010 he has had chemo and radio and nothing has worked with mets to both lungs.. and a terminal diagnosis!!! he also had a 'op and had a colostomy bag on for 7 months he had a reversal 7 weeks ago the op went brilliantly and his bowel is now almost back to normal but am afraid he has deteriated badly he was fine before the op he has now lost weight and is very weak and just last week we found out he may have a tumour in his right eye ...very unusual apparently?...which is giving him great pain our onc has advised him to have more radio' he is only 54 :( its hard to watch such a vibrant fit healthy man deteriate so rapidly we have 11yr old triplets who have just gone into high school we havent had the heart to tell them what is going to happen to their beloved dad.. we dont hide anything from them they can see how he is for themselves ...life is a bitch!!!
