Hi came on to this site over 2 years ago. My husband had been diagnosed with bowel cancer and I was so worried but people on this forum were very kind, informative and supportive. He had the operation in January 2024 - it was more complicated than first thought he had an abscess and an ileostomy. He had six months of chemotherapy. He’s coped very well with his stoma bag and we’ve gone on to live a good life, friends and family and holidays.
He had a ct scan last month and last Thursday an appointment came through to see his consultant surgeon on the Friday, this we thought was just routine. We were shocked to be told that the ct scan has revealed a tumour on the outside muscle of his bowel. A PET scan is being arranged and an operation to remove the tumour and anything else they may find. We are both in disbelief and struggling to get our heads round this awful news.
My lovely man is 81 so I know we have to find ways of dealing with it. We’re both widowed and found love again and I want to have much much longer with him.
has anyone else been through this?
thank you best wishes Midi
