Good Morning dear friends,
I went into hospital a week ago today for a resection of the lower bowel and a permanent Stoma.
However, they couldn't remove the full lower bowel through the rectum because of scar tissue from radio and chemotherapy, it could have resulted in a full bleed out.
They removed what was called a disc shape of the bowel where the tumour was sited, in the hope it has all gone. I have to wait two seeks to find out the results from the lab.
If negative, I go back in again for another operation this time through the rectum to remove any small residue of the tumour.
This is what I don't understand, I have two keyhole incisions and a long pubic line incision.
Why go into the rectum?
