Dx with rectal cancer in 2011. Six surgeries, chemo and radiation therapy for local recurrences. Tumour is now unresectable and ongoing chemo is helping to keep tumour from growing and spreading. Trying to get my head around the word 'palliative' and it's a battle. Would appreciate advice on living in the moment, especially at night!
