That's good that the hole is relatively small and they caught it right away! I'm going to do whatever they say. I am very terrified though about having the cancer with this and then possibly having to have some chemo which is immune compromising and having this MAC!?! It's absolutely terrifying and then I was reading an MRI report about the mass on my intestine and it said basically that there was a possible spiculated subtle area of that tumor that was extending outside the intestine. That is terrifying. Because if that's true I would have to get chemo, I'm praying that it's possibly precancerous that's extending. Most of the biopsies that I had were precancerous cells on this tumor except there was some places that had the very aggressive cancer very tiny areas that were very suspicious on the biopsy. I just want to get this out of me! My surgery is supposed to be on saturday. I see infectious diseases on Tuesday, and I'm hoping they give the go ahead that I can still have it!!
I had a complete proctocolectomy. I have Lynch syndrome which caused colon cancer, my brother died at 32 he was a year and a half older than me when they found out I had it five years later they removed the whole colon, and they actually found Cancer all over in the inside of the colon that didn't break through the colon wall but they didn't see on the colonoscopy. So it was very odd. So now I am faced with this intestinal cancer that's aggressive plus this MAC!
Do you happen to know anyone or heard of anyone with a non lung cancer with mac? I tried to do a search on here but I can't find much of anybody. I'm sure there is cases of it.
You've given me such great information, I appreciate it so much! I feel pretty silly that I didn't know what O2 was now. Haha you sound like you're very active, and that's really great, I take care of my 5-year-old granddaughter as I told you before and she keeps me going and going! I really appreciate all your information!! The weather here has gotten much better. The snow is actually melting a little today. I'm so happy about that!!!
And I hope you have a great day. And any information or anything you think I should know, please send me an email. Thanks so much for all your help. And I still think it's so crazy that you had your colon partially removed, I never thought I'd meet anyone that had that. It's been 15 years and I haven't yet until now. Haha
