Hi I'm supporting my husband who had a perforated bowel in October and a stoma formed. We were told it was cancer and he is now having chemo.
He didn't have any symptoms and had a clear bowel screen test In March so it's been such a shock for us. He was very unwell post surgery and we were told twice that he night not pull through so we are very grateful he is recovered enough for treatment..
I hope that I will be able to receive and give support on here.
Take care
