Jim had stage 4 rectal cancer (that was very low) and with radiation to shrink it, chemo kill it, and a highly skilled surgeon, is cancer free for 4 years. Try not to freak out as there is always hope.
Best wishes, Ceci

I totally was blindsided by that, was thinking because it was a fairly small outpatient procedure it wouldn't be so bad, but I was crazy sore for days, like someone used my left shoulder area as a punching bag. After getting through the APR surgery with only needing Tylenol extra strength a few times, I was shocked how sore I was from that port.
