So called the doctor, he said to come to the ER and husband refuses.

He even said that he won’t go to his colonoscopy appt either.

So I guess he’s planning on dying.

Thanks for sharing that!

His temp is at 38.5 C (101.3 F), so I’m going to give it one more hour!

No home instructions were given so I’m not sure if this is normal....I suspect not.

Does a CT or MRI also need to be done?

I ask bc my husband was diagnosed yesterday and the surgeon appointment will be Tuesday, yet there’s been no CT/MRI.

Does anyone here know what a “non-circumferential” Timor means?

My husband’s report mentions he has a 6 cm mass about 10-11 cm from the anal verge.

Is non-circumferential good, bad or neither?

I wish you the best but can’t offer any advice.

My husband was diagnosed yesterday with rectosigmoid cancer.

I’m looking at the images from the sigmoidoscopy report.....is rectal cancer white? Or dark brown? Of another color?

I don’t know what I’m looking at!
