My husband Jay has just had the devastating news that his bowel cancer has returned. He also has type 2 diabetes and has a permanent stoma bag. Because of the stoma there are certain things that he's not supposed to eat one of them being cheese. He made us some lovely wraps today for our lunch with melted cheese in them and when I said to him that I thought he couldn't eat cheese he replied with what I think he considered a `throw away` comment that `he has nothing to lose now`. He know how `fragile` I am at the moment still trying to process this news and I told him to please not speak like that. I then asked if he felt he was `giving up already` and he said he's waiting to see what the oncologist says and at this moment in time he has decided that there is nothing wrong with him until he see the oncologist and then he'll take it from there. I keep looking at the NHS websites for answers just now and as his surgeon says his cancer is `slow growing` I searched for this and it says because its slow growing it is possible it's `low grade` so it is possible that something can still be done to stop cells reproducing and hopefully stop it spreading further.
