Reoccurrence

Postby Smiggs » Sun Jul 30, 2017 2:38 pm

Posted a few times on this forum, when spoke to nurse they said they don't stage my mums cancer ? When trying to read the notes it looks like one of the tumours is attached to her bowel.. she did have surgery to remove the orinigal tumour in November 15, am just confused regarding this again... hopefully going to ask more on Tuesday but just struggle to get words out to ask

Any advise please

In my experience they don't restage after reoccurance. It's just metastatic CRC at that point.
I would avoid trying to check statistics as they are not too accurate and they don't really help anything.
I wish you and your mother the best. I know how stressful these next few weeks can be.
Take care.
