I have an appointment with a the first surgeon tomorrow. CT scans, bloodwork, etc. have not been done yet. He will order it, but will require scheduling and pre-approval. I will request urgent approval.
What else can I expect from the consultation? Will he walk through scenarios, or apply what was found in the colonscopy, biospy, placement of the tumor, etc. as guidance to potential options? Or will they await results of CT scan, blood work, etc.
Thank you.

a He is the department head and co director of the MD Anderson Gastro Center.
He did my surgery 5 years ago and I would recommend him to anyone. When I needed an oncologist, I stayed at MD Anderson with Dr. Jamin Morrison. I have received excellent care and in my last year of surveillance. If you need another gastroenterologist consult, I would highly recommend Dr. Chris Deitch. All of these doctors work together as a multi disciplinary approach and each specialize in colon cancer. If you want more info, please feel free to message me.
Good Luck
