Stage 3 colon cancer and living with an ileostomy bag
Colorectal Cancer | Last Active: May 16, 2022 | Replies (20)Comment receiving replies
I got the results of my biopsy today, and I don't think it is good. I have Adenocarcinoma, moderately differentiated. I'll consult a cancer doctor tomorrow, now that I have the lab results. I hope I will survive more than 5 years, although I am 74 years old. I'm curious about immunotherapy. Oh, another factor is that I currently live in the Philippine Islands. Things are more difficult here, than in America.

I was diagnosed with stage 2 adenocarcinoma moderately differentiated. I also have ulcerative colitis. I went through two rounds of chemo and was unable to complete the remainder but I’m still cancer free at three years. I do live in the US, so have access to continued care but don’t get discouraged

How did the consult with the cancer doctor go? What treatments options were suggested?
