Recently diagnosed colo rectal cancer. I've had a resection with a temporary (probably) stoma all in three months, still trying to process it all!

Hi River Peter3aa429 and a warm welcome to the board. Sounds like it’s been a busy 3 months for you and sometimes it only really hits home once everything’s calmed down a bit. Hope you’re managing with the stoma ok - there’s lots of advice on the stoma board if you need any?

Are you having any follow up chemo or maybe just a reversal further down the line?

Take care
