Hi guys

most of you know I'm currently receiving chemotherapy for bowel cancer after a successful operation. I was due to have my 18th of 30 doses on Friday gone but due to side effects was unable to. I got sent to A&E and the long n short of it is my side effects actually relate to my resection being narrow at the top meaning I'm backed up of poo with IBS style side effects. I had a CT scan on Saturday which showed the narrowing and today the colon rectal consultant have decided on a temporary stoma while I continue with my chemotherapy. I am due to go under the knife today this afternoon so will update once surgery is done and come round.

Regards Mark
