Hi
i was diagnosed with rectal cancer in mid December. I have had colitis for many years…which had been well controlled recently with no issues and no medication. Fast forward to routine colonoscopy and discovery of a small rectal cancer. Fast forward again through ct scans and mri - no spread evident. Tumour removed and was more aggressive than expected…recommendation of ileostomy in the next couple of weeks. Deep breaths ive have learnt a lot in the last couple of weeks…. These forums are such an essential part of the learning process.
Any tips on how I get through next couple of weeks as I prepare for ileostomy …and beyond! Any help, support and guidance appreciated xx
