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:

Study Result
Impression
