About Me
I had Colon Surgery last November, was in the hospital for 2 months and then went to a Nursing Home for Rehab, for 4 months, didn't get out till May 2nd of this year! I am 63, disabled due to Arthritis, COPD, Osteoporius and now Stage 4 Colon Cancer! Had a PET scan last week and they said, the cancer came back! If they could have gotten to me 3 weeks after the surgery, i might be better, but i was so sick after Surgery and they had to do it twice and said, i almost died from it! Strange thing is i had a colonoscopy last June and nothing showed up! The doctors say i have had this for a long time! I am depressed and lonely and scared! I don't drive and my husband is 82 and doesn't want to drive anymore! Now we have to worry hpw we are going to pay for the Chemo, our 20% comes to 200 dollars and i don't even know for how many pills,we are both retired and disabled! Have a good weekend!

Hi Kathy, Hang in there, I hope the chemo treatments help you. Do you have any other advice related to the stoma operation and care of it after surgery? My husband is scheduled for surgery on Sept 18th. He's really depressed about everything right now and I'm trying to figure out how to reassure him that everything will be ok. He thought he wouldn't have to get the stoma that's why he's bummed out right now. Since it sounds like you have had experience with this, maybe you could help? I'm trying to find someone to talk with to help me be a good support system for my husband. Any advice would be much appreciated.
