Nod's "all clear" was premature and wrong.
Going in soon for 8 hour op, two weeks in hospital and a colostomy bag  
So not just Polyps then ???  
 
  The Man has been in hospital again all  this week  -  hopefully be collecting him this afternoon but again not allowed to visit  

This was to have the stoma reversal op  and a hernia repair around where the bag was (a common side effect)  - so bag on , bag off in under a year. A few more scans as well and a follow up appointment just to check a small area of possible concern or maybe it's scar tissue - they are not sure but they had a look during op and didn't see anything to worry about.
It takes some adjusting to and given Nod's track record he may need a fair bit of support . If he wants any advice or experience having just gone through this happy to help
