Re: New Here and Going Under the Knife 9/4

Happy to say I've made some progress and a few decisions. Still having my surgery on 9/4 but I've secured an oncologist at MSK. They assured me I would not be able to have surgery before 10/15 so..... My CT scans show the cancer has not spread. Once I called MSK they ordered copies of all my test, pathology samples and I will be there one week after surgery. They will coordinate with my local oncologist and provide the second opinion and I will just transition there if I choose too. And I will if I need to follow a treatment plan or their opinions differ. That's an amazing hospital. I have been unable to get my radiology from the colonoscopy and yet they called and got it the same day and I'm not even a patient officially yet.
The CT results were somewhat of a relief but my surgeon said the bottom line is the actual result of the colectomy. So I'm still anticipating that test are not always 100% accurate.
