Went to get my scan results which were clear. Only have 1 more chemo to go so Onc said to forget it, that 11 is enough. Yippee! Then he said that he wants me to have radiotherapy and to go home for 6 weeks to get over the chemo, then go back and discuss it. My cancer has gone and in the empty space is now the rest of my bowel which has slipped down to fill it. He said he is a little worried about that.
Why couldn't it just be all over. The radiotherapy is to stop it coming back in that place again. He must know something I don't. I am terriefied to have radiotherapy, I am scared it will stop my chance of having a reversal of my stoma.
Can anyone out there tell me of their experience with radiotherapy and bowel cancer? Love Julie xx
