I had no idea I had colon cancer. No symptoms except my yearly blood work came back with a hemoglobin of 8.
Doctor told me to have a colposcopy. They found cecum cancer.
Had CT and they found two nodules on my lungs. Not related to my colon cancer.
I then had a PET scan.. they lit up slightly…then a broncoscopy for biopsy.
I have 2 typical carcinoid tumors. Very small right now. Doc says these don’t spread, just grow larger in place.
So, surgery to have right colon removed scheduled for March 30.
When I recover from that, I’ll have the carcinoids resected.
I am 71 and never had anything wrong..
Now I have two cancer surgeries to look forward to!
