@clare12351 Do you need to get a colonoscopy this year or are they only doing the CT/MRI for post treatment screening? Has anyone switched oncologists after treatment?

I believe I will get a colonoscopy this year, yes
Due to the radiation burns on skin in rectal area,, and the presence of a fissure we are trying to heal, they have postponed another colonsocopy until I can tolerate it
I have not had to switch oncologists,, Dr Jin at Mayo Rochester is excellent and I trust him always. Good solid rapport with an oncologist you like and have confidence in is essential
Dr Jin has wonderful PA's and nurses working on his team so I have access to them via the portal or in person when I return to Mayo every 3 months. I cant imagine this journey without the support . I did not have that support locally in my home town,, and it was awful trying to make decisions and navigate the hard questions and pain essentially, alone. Thus,, I left for Mayo. I also did not have access to this Mayo Connect resource w great mentors! So grateful .
