One thing I would highly recommend, get a BOARD CERTIFIED colon rectal surgeon to do your surgery vs general surgeon, ESPECIALLY if you are dealing with rectal cancer. They have the extra training to get the job done right the first time. There are a few people on this forum who have had bad outcomes simply because the surgeon was a general surgeon and didn't know what they doing.

I am still an active person, and eat all my fruits and veges. Have stopped eating red meat all but once in awhile. Lots of chicken and pork. Don't eat fast food, we really don't have the money to eat at restaurants all that much, so most meals made are home cooked, and healthy for the most part.
I have started eating on a daily basis curry, and turmeric, well known for their cancer fighting abilities. I made a list of about 10 cancer fighting foods, and have already been eating them, but have stepped up the intake to daily instead of weekly.
Off to make some brown rice to eat with my cancer fighting lunch!! Susan

I believe they call this "life" . We here call it a journey.
