A member asked:
10cm sigmoid tumor obstructing bowel, terminal colorectal cancer since 2010 extensive disease. choice is stent or stoma please help not sure what to do?

Sorry : Sorry about the bad diagnosis. I would suggest that, at this point , if stent is possible go that route. A lot easier to recover from and ultimately, if disease is as bad as you say, it will be the same outcome. But don't have to recover from a big operation.

quality of life: 10 cm tumor stent will not give a permanent solution , will obstruct, will erode will bleed and give additional complications , if patient tolerates end colostmy , or simple loop transverse colostmy could be done under local , will have much better quality of life.
