I had a few opinions before I made my decision
Did not receive any treatment after surgery
I will see mt surgeon soon and have my first CT scan
Very little problems this year with controlling my bowels

Enjoy your life!!

KathyLynn

Congratulations!! I’m so glad you are moving on with your life!
Enjoy your family and enjoy your life!

I love my wine. After surgery I stopped drinking But I’m back to having a glass or two a night. Maybe I should cut back, but I enjoy my wine! I think moderation is the answer. Not sure if two glasses a night is!

KathyLynn

Thanks for all the information. I will definitely read up on all of this.
I was so excited when they told me that I didn’t need treatment, but now I still find myself worrying about that ITC.
One day at a time! I’m heading to see my grand kids in PA. They keep me busy and happy!

Hi All, So after my second opinion, I waited for the oncologist to bring it up at the board All agreed that I should not have any chemo or radiation So, I will see my surgeon for all follow up tests. I cancelled my appointment with John Hopkins. (Third opinion) I hope I made the right decision I’ll ...

As far as having two reports, my doctor works at one hospital, GBMC. The oncologist/radiologist is at university of...

Also, I did check the thread with the girl stating she had ITC. I saw she did no treatment. But she hasn’t been on for awhile. I did send her a message, but haven’t heard back. I wish there was a test for this.

KathyLynn

Thanks again, I really appreciate your work on this
I need to stay off google, it takes me everywhere
This keeps my head in the right direction
I’ll bring this up at my next appointment on Wednesday
Why do you think they still say I’m NED?
Does that make sense?

KathyLynn

Wow, this is a lot to take in I wonder if the treatment after surgery is as successful as before the surgery? Just the not knowing is driving me crazy Should I go for chemo/Rad? What does radiation do after surgery? Is it that bad? Or is it the Chemo that’s bad after surgery? Seems like I went from ...

Thanks Lee
I’m hoping for just chemo
My surgeon does not want me to have radiation
I’ll be in touch

The way they explain this is, the isolated tumor cell is less than 0.1mm in a lymph node. I had my samples done by another pathology. They said it was one cell. (2 reports done) I’m really confused. They said some over treat ITC. But then what is under treat?? My surgeon was a board certified colon ...

Would you be able to update your signature to show more about your pathology risk profile? e.g., Tumor type, Tumor grade, Lymphovascular invasion, Perineural invasion, Proximal, distal, and circumferential margins, Lymph nodes positive/lymph nodes removed, Size of tumor, Location of tumor, Distance...

Hi All, I was diagnosed with Stage 1 after surgery But I have an issue with a lymph node (N0) that had ITC when removed after surgery I went to an oncologist/radiatologist at one university. They are totally leaving the treatment up to me. They said there is not much on this and the university would...
