Diagonosed with adenocarcinoma rectum and doctors have told me that after 5 weeks of chemo-radiation i would have to go under APR and permanent colostomy after. Is there any way i can avoid permanent colostomy? (Tumor distance from anal verge is 2 cm. It involves internal sphincter and have ill defined relationship with external sphincter).

  • Hi and welcome to the online community although I'm sorry you've had to find us.

    I see that you've found the bowel cancer group and I'm sure if you post this question there you will get plenty of replies. Clicking on the link I've created will take you back there where you just need to select 'start a discussion'.
