GREAT NEWS
After my Chemo-Radiation and the terrible time '..trying to poo..' the latest MRI has good news.
We were worried as a basic examination after all of this found lumps and thickening. The MRI result shows it sounds like mostly scar tissue.
Parts of the summary.
FINDINGS:
Tumour: The previously demonstrated polypoid low rectal mass is no longer evident, replaced by a band of low signal mild anterior wall
thickening. .....................
Submucosal T2 high signal in the lower rectum is interpreted as submucosal oedema..........
IMPRESSION: Low signal anterior wall thickening in keeping with fibrosis at the site of the previously demonstrated low rectal tumour. Mesorectal nodes previously identified as suspicious reduced in size.
EMVI negative. CRM clear. TRG 2 (fibrosis only, no visible tumour).

I am no doctor but sounds pretty good.
