Hi Corrine! I'm from our Book Club and used to live on Myrtle Drive. So sorry to hear of this news.
I, too had colorectal cancer 11 years ago when I was 47. Stage 3. I had blood in my stool as well. Radiation, surgery, illeostomy & reversal, & chemo.
After recovering from surgery, I went back to my job part-time while I continued with my chemo plan. I got used to the ileostomy, then had it reversed. It was about 1 year total of a 'bump' in the road of our lives. I feel lucky to be able to tell this story.
You are a very strong person and I know you can do this. I have a friend who had rectal cancer about 10 years before I did and she was my mentor. She's now an author of several books and talks on the speaker circuit to the health industry about her experiences. A true inspiration.
If you want to talk or text, let me know. We are thinking of you and your family and praying for your continued strength and healing.
