Has anyone tried NOM (nonoperative management)?
I am interested in this information too. So if there is anyone out there please share. My surgeon told me there was a surgery i'd be out for 6 to 8 months, or do the chemo/radiation and a surgery for a year after my next two tests which are the mri of rectal cancer and the ultrasound of the pelvis. I forgot to ask him if I would end up with a ostomy bag after the first option but he mentioned the temporary bag with the chemo and radiation option. I need answers and advice from people who have gone through rectal cancer and the procedures just like others please help us.
