My husband had an operation on the 16th September for colon/bowel cancer turmor was so big at a stoma in the large bowel. Had two heart attacks and a small stroke. Not able to have chemo due to the heart been home two weeks from a local hospice. 

Been told he has short months to live. Does anyone know but that means.

Life feels surreal at the moment but would love the question answered above
