Hi everyone. I was wondering if the geographical location of any abnormal cancerous mass within The Colon would be an indicator of whether or not a permanent Colostomy Bag or Temporary Bag would be required after surgery.
My Wife and I have been informed that the Biopsy that was taken during her Colonoscopy was found to be cancerous. The Biopsy was taken in the 2nd Bend Area of her Sigmoid Colon, not the bend near her Rectum. Just wondering if anyone had anything similar to this.
Still awaiting CT scan to find out The Stage.
Thanks in advance.
Worried to death of Runcorn. 
Dear Gunfitter
I meant to say sorry you find yourselves on here, fantastic as people are I think we would all prefer not to be ‘a member of the club.’ A simple warning DO NOT GOOGLE ANYTHING there’s some weird and far from wonderful stuff out there, it will honestly do you no good. I know you’ll both be desperate for some information, unfortunately there isn’t any yet. When you go for the scans etc don’t bother asking what they can see, they probably won’t know why your wife is being scanned and will refuse point blank to try and interpret the images. Start jotting down any & all questions you have, you can edit it later. Take the questions with you if the post Multi Disciplinary Team meeting is face to face, or if that is conducted by phone have it nearby.
If the post MDT meeting is face to face take a paper and pen with you, you should note down any letters/numbers given, leave your wife free to talk to the surgeon. If the meeting is by telephone put it on loudspeaker and again you take notes, don’t be afraid to ask for things to be repeated. I found it an easier time after this meeting, I had a treatment plan & information specific to me. Your wife will be allocated a colorectal nurse, get their name, phone number and most importantly their email address; questions can be forwarded to them as you have them. Mine was terrific.
Living in Runcorn you will know that for many in Liverpool life is measured in football; that certainly includes my family. I always look for football parallels in everything. Two years ago today we trudged through a cold, damp Liverpool evening to watch Liverpool exit the C/L. We were sure we knew the prognosis and went because we had no choice, we were in the autocup and had to accept the tickets. We were wrong and witnessed one of the most incredible evenings of our lives, the miraculous 4-0 defeat of Barcelona. At the end of the match Mo Salah, concussion protocols prevented him playing, joined his teammates on the pitch wearing his iconic T-shirt.
Even today it’s the only non-medical picture my wife has on display in her consulting room. We started the evening believing we knew our fate, we ended it securing flights to Madrid via B’ham and Majorca, flights back via Marrakesh! I would also suggest searching YouTube for Jordan & Brian Henderson Madrid. If you have only misgivings about the future watch the two of them, Brian had had a difficult fight against throat cancer but all that was forgotten in the joy of watching his lad lift the C/L. At the same moment, not too far away from them my son & me were enacting a similar scene; all thoughts of diagnosis & treatment the year before were forgotten. Later that evening/early the next morning when we were back in the hotel I emailed Rachel, my colorectal nurse and my surgeon to say a grateful thank you. Thanks to Fran McNicol’s team I experienced wonderful things and the best was yet to come, Premiership champions.
It is hard but never give up.
