Hi @christinajsmith60, do you know what stage your cancer is? What treatment(s) will you be having?

@lindadob, thinking of you and hoping you are doing well recovering from surgery.

@mimisayhi, when will you have your followup PET scan?

There has been no mention of a followup PET. My GI Dr. said cancer is "biopsy proven" and I absolutely have to go forward with surgery Feb 19.

I have a wonderful update. My husband had his surgery January 30th. Last night we received the call from the doctor saying everything was non cancerous. His 5cm mass was a tubulovillous adenoma. Though precancerous in nature all lymph nodes, margins amd mass were non-malignant. His follow up colonoscopy is one year from date of surgery. To say he is a miracle is an understatement. Although we are blessed with the results the path I walked down with my husband has changed our lives.
