It all started eleven months with colorectal cancer of the lower rectum. I embarked on radio-chemotherapy which hit very hard: I was crawling up the stairs quite literally. The cancer was my lymph nodes as well.
Prior to treatment I had stroke and lost all of power of speech. Four week later, I was in radio-therapy. It made things very difficult and I am still struggling to this day.
After a series of tests, when I had been expecting a stoma, I received the news on Tuesday. It had metastasised into my liver and stomach. I don't if I can recover from this but I will try as I have an AuDHD son.
