Hi everyone,
I’m currently recovering from my robotic laparoscopic sigmoid resection. I’m still waiting on my staging. But of course, I’m driving myself crazy with what I do know: my tumor was 7cm, which seems huge. Everything on google says size isn’t a good for survival…
Strangely, I’ve been googling the diameter of a sigmoid colon and it seems it’s only 5cm wide? I didn't have a blockage and from the pictures from my colonoscopy, the tumor only seemed to protrude about halfway into the sigmoid. Perhaps they were measuring laterally?
Anyway, can anyone share examples of large sized colon tumors that didn’t necessarily mean late stage? I don’t think I’m stage 4 since the CT scan of liver and lungs was clear.
I know I’ll know soon enough but it would provide some much needed comfort at this time.
Thanks everyone and hope you’re well.
