My partner was diagnosed early September with rectal cancer, she is back in hospital 4 weeks after being discharged and now has an infection, she's had tests and scans, the specialist has come to us this morning to tell us the worst news possible.
Her tumor has perforated and because of the agresivness of the cancer there is nothing that can be done to cure what she has.
We have been told to prepare for the worst but hope for the best, the infection is being treated and hopefully chemo will still be started, the team here have been excellent trying to keep my partner comfortable.
From here we have a lot to process but everything has become our worst nightmare.
