Nidge55 My husband has the same tumour as you he's is in his rectum. He has had his first dose of radiotherapy today he is to have 4 doses then his op straight after next Tuesday. He is very nervous about the op as he will be left with a permanent stoma bag because the tumour is too low to resection! Keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes to plan.
Polypops hope all is ok and works out - keep positive and don’t let dark thoughts creep in - ask your husband to imagine he has something that he drew that needs rubbing out from his picture - visualise deeply hope all goes well
