Re: cecum removal appendix too?

:roll: I hope you continue to fight on to get this straightened out. I had a similar situation where my colonoscopy report came back stating that my uterus was healthy.

Re: Confusing pathology results

Personally since there is only 3% increased survival I would not sign up for chemo with all the possible side effect., but that certainly has to be a personal/family decision. My oncologist recommended against chemo because of my microsatellte instabily. 4 years NED!

cecum removal appendix too?

I had a pelvic & abdominal CT scan Nov. 17 for 4 year follow up. Report summary: "All Clear" NED. However among other details it also stated appendix located and is unremarkable. The problem is I thought they removed my appendix! So I started making calls: Surgeons office nurse: "...
