Rectal cancer diagnosis very low in the rectum

I was diagnosed with stage 3 and very low in that area; however, I was told the stage before my treatment started. I wonder why they can not tell you what stage unless its removed... maybe because of the size? Small?

My advice.... HAVE FAITH!!! Dont assume anything. At beginning I was told I had to have surgery and colostomy bag.... Here I am 1.5 yrs later and no surgery and no bag and clear of cancer.. Just doing my 2 years of scans every 3 months

Thank you Ashley that's really helpful and encouraging. What treatment did you ended up doing and how was your journey if you don't mind? TIA
