All the best with the chemo, 

Oh thanks very much yeah 4hr operation in 6th Jan 4-5cm.tumour no symptoms at all had poor test in Dec as was 60 in Nov found blood stool colonoscopy then found tumour in my rectum so receiving 4 cycles of Chemotherapy now as blood vessels left behind after tumour removed

Oh many thanks for the support finding the Chemotherapy getting harder just had my 3rd Cycle last Friday 14th Apr now 14 days Chemotherapy tablets at home as well 

You have already come through a lot Evans . Hope the chemo is tolerable for you . Is another one to go then ? Nearly there . Hang in there .

Oh I don't know about that as still got a Colonoscopy bag on from Jan 6th tumour removed hopefully the consultant can reverse that for me later on in the year hopefully 

Did you mean a colostomy bag? If so it shouldnt stop you having a great holiday once your chemo is finished.plan somewhere lovely and enjoy the break.

All the best

Ah it's not the same with a bag on have to empty it 10-12 times every day and change it every day nice clean one on to much hassle on holidays to wait till.i have my reversal done later in the year hopefully
