Hi Chris. Just read your response. Please don’t think it is just undo worry. I think your questions are legitimate I know I have similar thoughts even though our situations are different. Without going into great detail, I ended up with c-diff ( bacterial infection) after my surgery. I kept emailing my dr until he finally ordered the test which came back positive. If I hadn't advocated for myself, I may have still had it. So, better safe than sorry!!! Just saying........

Thanks.. I know nothing to do but rely on my oncologist now, since I'm having no symptoms of anything being wrong.Other than the ct showing a little thickening. He ordered another scan in about 3 months. He said if he was actually very concerned he would have ordered another colonoscopy since he said that would be the only way to be 100% certain. He didn't want to put me through another one so soon, since he says the chances of anything coming up within 2 and a half months is very remote. Again, I may worry for nothing, it's just after I had a bad experience with a "thickening colon" it did alarm me some.
