Hi, stage 4 colorectal cancer here

I survived rectal cancer. Had chemo, radiation, and then had aprox. 11 inches of my rectum removed. If I hadn't had this done, I might not be here right now. I think what a person has to do is go the route that gives the most Quality of life. I'm not saying your husband should stop cancer treatments but he and you should look at this hard and decide what will give him the best Quality of life. Live for today but plan for tomorrow. My heart goes out to you, him, and your family. Yes Cancer SUCKS!

Hi. Thank you. He had all his rectum taken out. Has a colostomy bag. When they did surgery, he now has no control over his bladder. It is in liver and lungs. While he has been taking chemo, there is a sack of fluid by where he had the surgery. And it is spreading to another area. By where he had the surgery. It kills me to see him like this. Linda
