I had my surgery in Stamford CT. I had. Nodule that they thought was at risk for but not cancerous so she scheduled the surgery to remove it. Turned out it was a tumor and she had to clean the margins, and due reconstruction of the muscle. Normally they do not remove the tumor but treat with chemo and radiation. Why are they removing yours?

They said they want to do APR surgery and give me a colostomy bag permanently but will let me do TNT radiation then chemo to see if I can get NED otherwise it’s a colostomy for me. It’s touching the sphincter at the edge but not on or in the sphincter and this is coming from the head of colectoral surgery at a major teaching hospital. I don’t understand why they won’t try without a colostomy
