I am a wait and watcher who avoided radical surgery when the disease was diagnosed in 2017. I was disease free for two years.
In 2019, a solitary metastatic nodule was discovered in my right lung and it was removed with a VATS wedge resection. There was mp chemo afterwards.
It is now one year after my lung surgery and I am fortunately still cancer free. I have scans every few months.
Just wanted to update this forum

Welcome to the W&W club, and always remember the emphasis is on the "Watch" part! Those quarterly follow up visits are all important. IIRC my quarterly exams consisted of a flex sig plus an MRI specially designed to look at the rectum in great detail. Also annual colonoscopy and CT scan of chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
