Boston support

Hi Paul. thanks for posting. I agree that supports is really important in this cancer journey. My name is Mark and I am have been living with colon cancer (stage IV) since 2004. I also am avaliable to speak with any of you who just want to vent, need advise or want to offer any suggestions.
I have done quite alot of natrual methods along with traditional treatments. I spent 3 weeks in Mexico doing alternative treatments and I am a big believer in diet.
the colorectal board is also very active and I check posting on that almost daily.

I don't know if this is inappropriate to ask, but I'll ask it anyway. I had my rectum removed with a resection and am wondering if it's ok to have receptive anal sex. I don't feel comfortable asking my doctors. Has anyone in this group had similar surgery and has since had sex with no issues? My surgery was Sept. 2005 and things seem to be progressing well. Ever since my surgery my ex didn't seem at all interested and he has since left me, but I'd like to know if that type of sex is an option with future men.
I'm also curious if anyone has ever read anything that indicates that participating in anal sex increases one's risk of getting rectal or anal cancer.
Thanks for reading and any input is appreciated!

I will be seeing him afterm my scan.markinalexva said:I don't know if this is inappropriate to ask, but I'll ask it anyway.
