Feeling really down...........my brother had his operation this morning and my sister-in -law has just phoned to say they didn't remove any of the cancer as there was more there than they expected, there was 3 tumors inside the colon 2 outside and 1 attached to the kidney but they have given him a colostomy bag.
She said they would have to speak to the oncologist soon and my s-i-l- was going up the hospital now so hopefully she would find out more.
What is going to happen to my brother, why couldn't they take some of it away, what are his chances ?????????
I just feel so sick, why is this happening to my family, haven't we had our share of bad luck.
Sorry to rant at you all but !!!!!!!!!

Thinking of your brother Mummo and hope Eddie had a good night and is feeling better today.

Hope the op goes well for your brother today.

Hi Mummo,

I'll be thinking about your brother, and hope that all goes well for him tomorrow.

I also hope Eddie is feeling a bit better.

Please try not to worry too much, ( I know it's easier said than done) as I'm sure that all will go well for your brother.

Sending positive thoughts to you and all the family. Take care!

Love, Sallie. xxx

Positive thoughts for you all tomorrow.

all y love and positive thoughts too you xxxxxxand your family xxxxx

I will be thinking of your brother. I hope the op is a success as I am sure it will be.. If he is concerned about having a colostomy I am sure he will cope with it. My Mother had one when she was 81 and coped well with it after the first couple of weeks.

No good telling you not to worry, Just know we are all here for you to give you our support. ((((((hugs))))))

Will be thinking of your brother tomorrow,Mummo,and sending my positive wishes to you and to Ed. BC XX

Jean (Monmouth) yes l know people manage with one kidney and the success rate is probably good for this kind of surgery but with losing my mum back in July from bowel cancer it has hit our family really badly but we are praying things work out for my brother and l am so glad he retired 3 years ago when he was 52 so no rush for him to go back to work and its good to hear your comments, thankyou.
Thanks everyone else for you love and support, xx

Dear Mummo your Brother and Eddie are in my thoughts and prayers.
Positive thoughts for tomorrow for your Brother.

Take care.

Good luck to your brother for the op, I hope he will be ok afterwards to start on the chemo and fight back.

Well, Mummo, lotsof people survive with only one kidney. As to the cancer, its a belt and braces approach to try and be certain they have caught it all. The success rate for these ops is pretty good. Aman in his 50's in my street had similar three years ago, and may find he has to go back towork under the new govmt initiatives.

Hi, my brothers operation is scheduled for tomorrow, they have told him its going to be a major op and when the open him up to remove the cancer there is a chance they might have to remove a kidney as they think the cancer has attached to it, also he will have to have a colostomy bag and then he will have to have chemo after.
I am just praying that everything goes ok.

Hope things go to plan today and the news is better than your brother expects.

Positive thoughts for your brother.
Hope surgery can go ahead tomorrow and is successful for him. At least he will know what he's up against and can start treatment. I wish him all the best,
(((((((hugs)))))))
take care ,
