Hey Shelly sorry I am coming late to the party – er, well, not really a party is it? Did you get a copy of your pathology report? That would be a real help for you in understanding your diagnosis and future treatment options. RC is not something to be taken lightly (not implying that you are) as it is about the most major cancer surgery that exists due to the number of organs involved and the long recovery period and new normal that you have to get used to. Of course, having said that, it is do-able and you can thrive afterwards as many here (including me) can attest. Glad you are seeing another doctor. Hope it is at a major cancer centre and the doctor does a lot of these surgeries. That is pretty key! We are here to support, answer non medical questions, share experiences, suggest, encourage, and listen. Oh, and we also make it our goal to make you laugh on occasion as it seems really true that “laughter is the best medicine.” And even this disease has its funny moments – trust me!
Al the best. Please keep us informed of your progress.
