Second week of May he had surgery to remove his rectum, bladder and prostate and maybe the masses in the liver. When they opened his liver there were six masses consisting of both lobes. They closed the liver back up without removing the masses and performed the rest of the scheduled surgery. He now has a urostomy and colon bag (permanent) weight at 161.
He took the summer to recover from all of this. Spent time with kids and grandchild in Florida, rode his Harley for one short trip and was getting stronger.
In Mid-August he stared his 1st of 12 sessions of chemo weighing in at 169. Yesterday started session 4 and he weighed in at 150, low blood pressure reading, but he has not lost any hair. He has now slept for 15 1/2 hours, weak, hurts to sit with no muscle mass on rump, can only stand for 2 minutes and walking is limited for he is so weak.
I cannot even begin to tell you what I have gone through watching my biker husband go through this. My sister is the only person I will vent to for fair of being attacked or judged by his family. I'm scared, lonely, angry and depressed and I don't know how to fix what is attacking my husband. My job has been the fixer of the issues and I cannot fix this.
Thank you for having a sight like this.View Thread


Suggestion, look up stealthbelt.com
They made a special belt for him with a double ostomy and he could go swimming, motorcycle riding and more and the best part he loves about it is no more leaking problems for it also holds his wafers in place. He wears his belt 24/7, we laugh because I have to make him take it off to wash it. Find the laughter. They are on Facebook as well. They have several choices for intimacy as well.View Thread
