I don't post much here anymore (more active on the Colontown Facebook groups) but figured I should provide an update. My husband's local recurrence of rectal cancer continued to grow throughout three clinical trials. The tumor is low in his pelvis and has broken through the skin of his perineum, causing a draining wound which is difficult to deal with. He started home hospice care about three weeks ago. I was scared of taking this step, but the hospice team has been very helpful in getting his pain under control.
I wish I had something inspirational to offer, but I really don't. I hate this disease more than words can possibly express.
