On 4 July my husband underwent a 14 hour operation to remove cancer from his peritoneum, his bowel, spleen, his diaphragm and the lower lobe of his left lung. Two months after the operation he is finally getting his appetite back and has lost 20 kilos and has a stoma fitted which we are told is irreversible.  However, his CAT scan showed that a nodule on the left lower lobe of the lung was denser and slightly bigger.  He did have a bag of pus removed from his lung following the operation which we were told was normal.  Now I don't know what to think and the oncology appointment is 6 September.  As this operation is so new I don't know if he just has a very aggressive cancer or this could be a "normal" result.  I am in agony waiting for the appointment.
