yes, the small tumor was removed & everything biopsied fine -I am still having GI issues with sweats, cramps, dia for over 1 year. After my initial diagnosis, my oncologist sent me to a renowned cancer hospital in Boston & I don't ever care to go back. I ended up having to take an expensive Uber ride in & out of Boston, since the free transportation service never returned any of my 3 phone calls & I had to wait hours for my procedure, I have GI issues with anxiety, so I had to keep getting disconnected from machines to go running to the restroom - it was a nightmare experience which I don't care to repeat. At age 72, I am going to be very selective about my course of treatment, I know I will be sick from the disease, but I am pretty sure I don't want to be made sicker by the treatment at this stage of my life. Thank you for the websites which I will review. I wish you the best of luck, my prayers are with you.

I am sorry to hear that your follow-up test caused you so much distress, @pippa05 . Did the results of this test show anything to explain your symptoms?

Has your medical team suggested any treatments for the abdominal distress and sweating that you've experienced post-surgery?
