The first post and the Story so far

Hello and welcome to my blog, lemme quickly catch you up.

November 2014 - Diagnosed with Stage IIIA rectal cancer
December 2014 - Surgery to remove roughly a third of my bowel (Abdomino-perineal resection with permanent colostomy - 2 lymph nodes positive for cancer, but clear margins)
January 2015 - Emergency IVF cycle for fertility preservation - one embryo frozen
February 2015 - Started 12 cycles of chemotherapy, due to end July 2015
