What your moms had done, sounds very similar to mine. My tumour as in the higher part of my bum, so just had part removed with temp bag. I had 28 lymph nodes removed with 3 testing positve. So although it could of been better for me and your mom, it also could of been a bit worse, as some of the guys and gals on the board will testify. Ive just had my last blast of Oxaliplatin at the hospital. weds 13th Dec. (yipee) and have two weeks of xeloda tablets to take, before the chemo is done. (at least i pray it will be done with) Im then having bag removed end of Jan. I would say the first 2 or 3 treatments did drag a bit, but one over that things will pick up and mine seems to have flown by.
Wishing you and mom and good christmas
Thanks for the info Nick. Mom is doing well with the bag, and will have chemo in a couple of weeks. I would like to keep in touch with you. If you want you can email me at janetteteaches@sbcglobal.net. I will keep you in my prayers, and hang in there!! This is sooo hard not only for mom, but for us the family memebers. Have a great xmas, and keep in touch! Janette
