SandiD

Welcome SandiD, this is a great site to come to for support and to ask questions. Hope you are doing well.

Hi Sandi, I was just diagnosed with rectal cancer, sounds like yours. Was wondering how you are doing without your holding tank now, do you still have to live close to the bathroom? Did they give you the option of having a bag?

Hi received your message I am with a support group locally but it is only once a month I am looking for online support on a daily basis, or when I feel the need for it

Thanx for your answer regarding residual dilemmas. I'd completely forgotten (consciously) why I so seldom shop anymore. I can't "hold it" much at all and need to only shop at stores, hahaha, with a better class of rest rooms. You were lucky you got on Disability. I was turned down. I'm trying again the end of this month with new forms and new doctors.

Thanks for your helpful answer to my question about bras to wear after lumpectomy! I appreciate all the help and encouragement.

Sandi, thanks for the helpful comment regarding lumpectomy vs. mastectomy. I'm seeing a radiology oncologist on the 15th and will discuss the treatment and side effects. I'm leaning toward a lumpectomy. I like my surgeon and she takes time to explain and answer questions.

I'm so happy you mention this.

I've other health issues and hardly ever know which to blame for a symptom.:-)

Cheers and keep yourself well.
