WOOOOOHOOOOO! NED, but colitis? Never had this pre-surgery/chemo. Would explain the massive outburst I had from the contrast.
I didn't have a bowel movement yesterday as I took an immodium late on Thursday evening. Seems to be only in one small area in descending colon. Not sure where by this report.
I'd imagine it's near the resection and may just need to heal more anyone know what the (2/85) comment means? I'm sure I'll get all the details Tuesday during my meeting with my onc's assistant.
Will be treatment 12. Very happy about the NED! But little concerned about this possible colitis issue. Feeling good doing the dance of Joy. Big thanks and hugs to everyone with well wishes :)

Here is report:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Details
Study Result
Impression
1. Focal wall thickening and fat stranding surrounding a short segment of the descending colon (2/85), suggesting colitis.
2. No evidence for metastatic disease of the chest, abdomen or pelvis.

CHEST:
Thyroid gland is normal. No supraclavicular adenopathy. No axillary adenopathy. Heart size is normal. No pericardial effusion.

No pulmonary lung nodules. No pleural effusion. No pneumothorax.

No mediastinal adenopathy.

ABDOMEN/PELVIS
Liver: Normal. No focal masses. Normal hepatic vasculature.

Gallbladder: Normal. No cholelithiasis or evidence of cholecystitis.

Pancreas: Normal. No focal lesions. No ductal dilatation.

Spleen: Normal.

Adrenal Glands: Normal.

Kidneys/Ureters: Normal. No hydronephrosis or nephrolithiasis. Retroaortic left renal vein.

Stomach and Small Bowel: Normal. No wall thickening. No focal lesions. No obstruction or perforation.

Colon: Surgical anastomotic sutures at the lower rectum. Focal wall thickening and fat stranding surrounding a short segment of the descending colon (2/85), suggesting colitis.
