Twisted intestine partial blockage

I am sorry that we have not been more help to you here. But as Catherine said I do not know of anyone here that has had exactly the same situation you and your husband are facing. You did not say if they are going to do an ostomy but if they are you might be able to get more information on an ostomy support group they can be found by doing a search here is an active one that I found.

We do have experience with chemo as a group and recovering postop. And we do know what it feels like facing the unknown as Cat said. Know we are here if you need us and please keep us updated.

Just wanted to send good wishes for your husband tomorrow and I hope that his surgery can take care of this situation. I know he has already been through a lot, and so have you. His case is more complicated than what most of us have experienced, so that is why you haven't gotten a lot of specific comments.

But know that we all stand with you because we DO know what it's like to stare uncertainty in the face, and how scary that feels. Blessings to you both... please let us know how things go so we can continue to cheer you on.

Hello Nancy... I am so sorry that you have received this devastating news. This is where a meeting with an oncologist and your urologist will have to determine the most effective way to treat this new development. Have they suggested further surgery, or perhaps to do chemo first? Do you feel that a second opinion is in order if you have not had an outside referral? It is always so hard to know what to do when faced with an unexpected scary turn like this.

I wish had more to offer but I've never dealt with your particular situation. I can only send wishes that you have the best possible outcome with whatever path you choose. There are others here who have gone through a chemo regimen. I hope one of them can add to this thread.
