I’ve recently learnt that despite having a cancerous polyp removed from my bowel in 2024 and having a temporary ileostomy that I now have a 2nd cancerous polyp that has been removed but is in the same area as the previous one so Dr believes it would be best to remove that area involving removal of my rectum/anus and obviously having a permanent colostomy . Just wondering if any one has been through a APR and has advice on how painful it is/recovery and any tips please.
