Anyways, several things on there that jumped out at me and have me concerned are the perineural invasion is present, there were 4 tumor deposits, and moderately differentiated tumor. Also the fact that his tumor was a T4a. From what I see he is stage IIIb. If someone could please shine some light on if these are things to really worry about or not or if any of you have experience with this? ... Also his CEA was 131 before surgery. Thanks so much!
My husband had his LAR surgery last week laparoscopic. He seems to be doing well except he has lost about 10lbs and he is already skinny! Anyways, had our follow up with the surgeon this week and he gave us the staging.

My mom just had LAR surgery on 10/17 and she is still in the hospital. The nurse seems to think she has possibly a hernia from the surgery which I am not too happy about. i really hope that my mom does not lose any more weight cause she is so skinny already about 113 pounds. How long did it take for your father to recover from surgery? I am nervous about the path results from after the surgery although they said the scans look good and that the radiation did a good job of shrinking it. Prayers to your husband and everyone. Cancer sucks!
