Hi all
this has been a roller coaster of a month for me--my mom passed away mid-April and I had a colonoscopy on May 4th after a month of bloody stools where they found a mass in my sygmoid colon. The got me in for a CT the same afternoon and saw no evidence of spread. I have no family history of colon cancer, so this was a complete surprise.
Fast forward to this week and I had robotic laparoscopic resection of my Sygmoid colon on Monday. I've been home since Wednesday, and am doing very well recovery-wise.
Pathology found A T3 tumor, no involvement of the lymph nodes (0/17), and no mets. I had negative margins in all orientations, and my tumor was low grade (G1). It is MSS from the colonoscopy biospy results. So I guess I'm T3N0M0 G1 MSS .
I meet with my oncologist next week.
I did have some questions--I know stage 2a is a bit of a grey-zone for follow-up chemo--and I wanted to know what kinds of questions to ask. I also wanted to know if anyone has dealt with fertility treatments while facing colon cancer.
Thanks.
