I have just read this thread and I am very sorry to hear of your diagnoses. I hope all goes well for you. I know what you are going through as my mother has recently been diagnosed with colon cancer as well.
Have you checked out the Beating Bowel Cancer website? They have excellent forums and a nurse helpline as well which is very good. We have found it a god send over the past few months -
