  1. Well good news is cancer has not spread. Bad news treatment has been delayed as can not eat as cancer is blocking rectrum. Been on a drip 11 days now. Surgeon can not operate until cancer has shrunk. At the point where I think what can be done. Seem to be stuck in no man's land. 
  • Hi Good news abiut no spread but sorry to hear that you’re still in hospital. I would have thought that they would give you a stoma and then chemoradiotherapy  to shrink the tumour or is there some reason that they’re not doing this?
