Surgery Monday

steph57

I am excited to let everyone know that I had Surgery July 16, 2021 for removal of rectal tumors for stage 4 cancer and after tests came back negative( doctor at MGH says he got it all). I am now scheduled Monday to have reversal surgery so I can get rid of my stoma and bag. I have been blessed by the the support of friends and family and the staff at MGH in Boston, MA and Wentworth Douglass Hospital in Dover NH through this and I am praying for everyone who goes through chemo, radiation and surgery that you all will have the same outcome.

I am very happy for you. We have a long way to go to get to where you are!

I am very happy for you! We were fortunate enough to have a similar outcome. The difference being that my husband's stoma is permanent.

Great news, Steph!

Be good during healing from the reversal, and I hope that this is your last Cancer related run in.

Have a long and wonderful life.
