Hi all, hope everyone is keeping as well as can be?
So I found out this morning the actual name of my surgery after a phone call
It is a 'salvage APR'
I had to ask about the 'APR' 
it's abdomino perineal resection, sounds interesting!
Does anybody have any experience with this type of surgery?
Thanks in advance
I wish I had your strength !
I'm really relieved that your experience was less traumatic than mine and that you didn't have any complications !
As for food, I was told that as long as my bowel movements were working I could eat whatever I wanted. It's been a year now and I no longer have any problems with bowel movements related to food. I still have a few disorders but they're related to the chemo I’m having.
(and the stoma thing is actually easy to manage after just a few days home. Only my brain can’t cope with this new component
).
Thanks for your feedback, keep us posted (if you want 
)
