Hi there, well here I am again. My 2nd husband battled bowel cancer successfully 2 years ago and this site was such a support. 2 years on my ex-husband (father of my 3 children) has been diagnosed with rectal cancer and sadly because of this, I have become a kind of carer as my 3 kids are in meltdown and he has no partner. Anyhow, he has rectal cancer and was told he will need a stoma and that cancer had not spread to lymph nodes or anywhere else. HOWEVER, after consultant said they could operate, then told ex he has shadow on lung and needed PET scan, PET scan has come back inconclusive and now needs a biopsy on lung? Poor man is climbing the walls in agony as can't go to the toilet despite laxatives (lactulose and movacol). He is going in tomorrow to assess blockage(after me screaming down the phone that he is in SOO much pain as can't go to the loo). His Dad died of the same 20 years ago so extra stressful. What does enlarged lymph nodes in lung mean anyone?!!! Be grateful for anyone's advice. It is such an awful time to be ill.
