Hi all
I posted several weeks ago with many a question, then again to let you all know the op went well & just want to update you all with the results…
Ok so it’s fantastic news… after being told I had a 5cm tumour & 2 lymph nodes affected. Small bowel was fused to large bowel, large bowel had even fused back on ittself & during the operation the surgeon found the bladder had also joined the pile up & had to slice apart!!
Despite all of this I just got the all clear 
cancer is all gone, 22 lymph nodes taken & all tested negative…Team say no chemo required!!! Surgeon still wants a chat with oncologist as feels as bladder was connected I may benefit from some but oncologists decision would be final. Should also be saying goodbye to Flo (my stoma) in 6 months 
So miracles do happen so to all of you out there hold on.. positive mind, positive thinking & who knows.
Thank you for all your wonderful help, support & advice.
Ive signed up for a 26mile walk in May for Macmillan which my surgeon says I am fine to do & has even said he will sponsor me.. what an amazing man , I am so lucky to have him.
49days from diagnosis to all clear… God bless the NHS & all you wonderful guys out there

Hi Fidge
Thank you so much for your update. I remember our chats well and it’s fantastic to hear you are doing so well.
You must celebrate with Flo I hope she’s behaving
It’s so uplifting to hear positive outcomes.

Thank you Artsie Ann
flo is not the best behaved, she even makes the dogs jump when they’re laying on my lap 
teething trouble with pancaking also but we’ll get there… have just ordered some prune juice so hopefully will help!

This is truly fantastic news Fridge . Such a relief 
As long as Flo flows. It takes a little time to settle. she’s playing with the dogs. They must wonder what’s happening with you tummy.
There’s loads of info and support from the stoma group here. They helped me so much early days and still. Night and day management, diet and a laugh at times I’ve found it’s kept me sane.
Stoma nurses are amazing at getting the right products for the job.

Sorry, meant Fidge not fridge
