My wife 36 now has battled rectal cancer for 2 years with a reccurent tumor at the 1st resection site in Jan 08. She just had the second resection and unfortunately had to get a colostomy this time. Also during surgery a lymph node was found 2 inches from the aorta valve that goes to the heart, it was determined cancer after about 10 seconds. We are awaiting the pathology report.
Has anyone had anything similiar to my wife happen to them. I am just wandering about the lymph node involvement so high up.
Thanks!
