Evening all
I was diagnosed with rectal cancer in Oct 24 via colonoscopy. CT scan, MRI, PET etc then a 7 hour operation in December where tumour was removed and an ileostomy fitted with the hope of reversal in the New Year. 10 days in hopsital as my stomach went into ilieus for 8 days-and I lost 2 stone of weight 
Histology found traces of cancer in one of 12 lymph nodes and one vein so, offered 3 months of Capox chemo and that's where I am now, 2 cycles in with 2 to go. Lots of nasty neuropathy, and first bite! But otherwise battling my way throug the chemo in the hope that if there is any cancer lurking within me then the Capox will zap it.
Hope we are all feeling upbeat and positive tonight.
