SUMMARY-RECTAL BIOPSY: NO DYSPLASIA OR MALIGNANCY
So the radiation did it's work and we shall now 'wait and watch' over the next few months-years. I still have a rather damaged rear end and sadly a bit of pain'..passing a poo' that is likely to stay due to the muscle damage-scar tissue. But it can be a healthy reminder.
I almost feel bad that my tumour was so well destroyed by the radiation and others do not have such an outcome.
Thanks so much for cheering me on... I now 'wait and watch' to see how things go.

I spoke too soon.... I just assumed we will follow the wait and see process as there is no sign of cancer in the rectum.
Surgeon examined full results and just phoned me. He is concerned that even though the tumour has gone the lymph nodes are still enlarged. He recommends that we proceed with operation as any cancer within the lymph nodes shall spread to other organs long before any noticeable, if any, recurrance.
