After seeing oncologist/radiologist, I was told today that they can remove the tumor without any treatment. Wow, now I'm excited. But, should I have a second opinion? I was getting ready for CT scan for radiation to start. I'm so confused now. Suggestions
Thanks All
Sounds like they found your early, that is good news. Since you are dealing with rectal cancer, you really want a Board Certified Colon Rectal surgeon doing the surgery. Radiation, surgery, no chemo. Sounds pretty good to me.
Are you near a major hospital or cancer center? Since you are diagnosed so early (stage I), it's not as important for a 2nd opinion, butt I do believe in them. Your choice.
Congratulations,
