@moonchaser389, how did the meeting with the surgeon go? Will you have LAR (low anterior resection) surgery?

@colleenyoung
I had LAR on March 27 with permanent ostomy.
Also had left adrenal gland removed and partial nephrectomy on left kidney.
Surgery was about 9 hours and I recovered in the hospital, discharged On March 30.
I have had a weekly visit with homecare nurse.
All cancer removed and all good margins.
Recovery has progressed well and my ostomy works as it should.
I feel I've dodged a bullet here.
Ready to live and move forward after pausing my life for the past year.
