AB Only  47  years  old,  Mr  M  lives  with  advanced  rectal  carcinoma.  Twenty  three  years  ago,  he  had  radiation  and  chemotherapy  for  abdominal  Hodgkin  disease.  Eight  years  ago,  he  underwent  potentially  curative  surgery  for  rectal  carcinoma.  Mr  M  performs  with  a  professional  symphony  orchestra.  Although  estranged  from  his  family  of  origin,  he  has  been  in  a  committed  relationship  with  a  woman  artist  for  5  years,  and  they  have  a  2  year  old  son.  Three  years  ago,  he  developed  a  bulky  pelvic  mass—a  recurrent  rectal  carcinoma.
