Hello,
in 2002, a rectal cancer was diagnosed. Too low location to avoid permanent colostomy, according 2 different French surgeons (I live in Paris), specialized in gastro-enterology and oncology...
We didn't accept that solution, and search for days on the Internet, hoping to find specialists for another way...
England has an [u]excellency center[/u] for those pathology, in Basingstoke (between London and Southampton) : the Pelikan centre, founded by Pr Heald. [u]He is a reference[/u] in colon and rectal cancer surgery.
In France, we had no chance to avoid permanent colostomy; with him : more than 50%.
His French correspondant in Paris is in St Antoine Hospital, we knew that from himself. In France, noone lead us to his latter, may be a "concurrence" between doctors ? or only the sincerity to do their best with such a perineal amputation (because of secondary risk, and the tumour location etc )?
However, the surgery in Basingstoke was a success, it was our last solution.
By searching on Google with those key words, you can find and understand more about what they do, and [u]scientific articles[/u].
For those living in Europe, it may be an easy way to get a second opinion.
He doesn't promise miracle, just does his job, but at its top.
All my best
