Hey all. So I met with my oncologist on Friday, 7/31/20. My colon resection surgery took place in the fall of 2014 and I finished 6 months of folfox in the spring of 2015. I had the stable ct scan in July of 2020. I was a little surprised that my oncologist told me that I still had a chance of colon...

Hi. I was diagnosed with stage 3b colon cancer in the fall of 2014. I had colon resection surgery and finished folfox chemotherapy in the spring of 2015. I have had three colonoscopies and at least annual ct scans since then. As I was approaching my five year anniversary, ct scans revealed a cyst on...

Hello All. I have been meaning to check in with you all for some time now. I hope that you are enjoying the holiday season. I was diagnosed with stage 3b colon cancer in September 2014. Most of the details should be in my profile. I can’t say that I am completely out of the woods (Five years with no...

Thank you SurvivorSpouse and susie0915 for sharing your experiences with me. Your stories will help me to be a little less anxious over the course of the next three months. I wish good health for everyone.

Hi. I just wanted to follow up after my appointment with the oncologist. He wants another CT scan in three months, to see if the lesion has changed in any way. I asked him about an MRI of the liver, he said that the lesion is not big enough (2-3 mm) for an MRI to be warranted. He also said the CT sc...

Hi. Yes, all of the kidney results are referring to the same mass. I will ask my oncologist about whether an mri of the liver is appropriate. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi. I had a CT scan yesterday (10/24/18). I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 8/14. The CT impression from 10/24/18- tiny 2-3 mm hypodense lesion in the right lobe of the liver which is too small to characterize; however, it is new when compared to the prior study (10/17). No other intrahepatic les...

My thoughts and prayers are with you cmrl.

O Stoma Mia- Wow. I didn't realize I had posted that much! I have received so much reassurance and useful information here. I remember you helping me research at least one issue that arose concerning my diagnosis and treatment. I will be happy to help others who are new on this journey, to answer qu...

Three Year CT Scan Results- The report reads- Unremarkable CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis with no evidence of residual, recurrent or metastatic disease. Findings are unchanged. The patient status is post prior sigmoid colonic resection. I called the oncologist’s office because their blood work ...

My prayers are with you. Waiting for test results is so hard.

Sorry about the polyps...IDK if they can be prevented, I think some people just grow them. I am so uncomfortable about the waiting times between colonoscopies in folks like us, who have had diagnoses of cancer. THREE YEARS IS TOO LONG!!!!! I had my 1 year colonoscopy a few days ago and the doc said...

Hi. Just a quick follow up. I had the colonoscopy yesterday. It had been two years since my last colonoscopy. The gastroenterologist removed four polyps. He doesnt think they were cancerous, but they are being biopsied. Unfortunately, even though I followed the prep instructions, the prep wasnt as g...
