After asking my consultant what’s the prognosis I was told 18months to 2 years.
However I was told I might have an operation to help with my problem of constant Diarrhoea.
Tomorrow I hope to meet the surgeon who saw me initially.
On a more positive side I was told by a colorectal nurse who has been involved in my journey that I was writing myself off to quickly.
She said, we want to get you operated on to help you have a better quality of life and then start you on further treatment.
So let’s see what tomorrow brings fingers crossed.
Well it’s Thursday and we have seen the surgeon.
She confirmed it’s terminal to my wife ( obviously she had not accepted the consultants word ) but says she want to carry out keyhole surgery on me and install a stoma bag. Local hospital a bit nearer to us than todays hospital so that’s good. Couple of days in hospital and hopefully back home as long as I am okay with bag training etc. Then they want to try and slow the cancer with more Chemo but if I decide it’s to rough I can always stop it.
So all in all not a bad day. Opp on the 14th Feb all being well.
Apparently I retain my rectum but waste goes into the stoma bag.
