A year ago today my mom was wheeled away from me in a hospital stairway at Mayo where she underwent a 6 hour surgery to get NED.
A celebratory day indeed that we’ve made it this far, but of course now with this pandemic, she got calls that her CEA / CT scan and colonoscopy have been postponed. (CT scan is at Mayo and colonoscopy is local.)
Is anyone else dealing with delayed surveillance appts? I am so worried that despite doing everything we can do keep her safe from covid, we run the risk of cancer sneaking back in undetected.
And not knowing how long this is going to go on makes it even more anxiety inducing.
How “dangerous” is it to be 2-3 months behind on surveillance?
