Hi im new to this field last year in july i have diagnosed with stage 4 rectum cancer the cancer spread into my pelivic and bowel.. i have colostomy bag, and. im having chemotherapy done.. almost i had 14 treatment.. my tomour has been shrink. The doctor saying if i want to be cancer free i had to go for major surgery pelivic extenteration.. im really scared thinking about that surgery in this surgery they will remove all ladies organs and i will go for my early menopause ( as im 40).. and also i will have an extra bag for my bladder. Has anyone else met with this experience.. do they really remove all organs.. im so scared.
Thanks
Hi Koyal
I had a total pelvic exenteration just over 3 years ago for recurrent cervical cancer. In my case, yes-all organs in my pelvis were removed and I have 2 stomas-urostomy and colostomy.
If you click on my name and read my bio, it details what I had removed. Happy to try and help answer any questions based on my own experience.
