Hello, after my colonoscopy last October, my doctor found a very small tumor in my colon, so I had to get surgery. The surgery was completed in November 2022 and out of 34 lymph nodes, one had cancer. To avoid any spreading or complications I was put on Xeloda pills for 6 months and am in my last cycle for that (finishing next week). I will then have a CT scan in late June to make sure everything is alright, then my next colonoscopy is in October. I would speak with your oncologist and learn more about options for treatment (if any) and what the best course of action would be to avoid any possible issues in the future. It could be that your oncologist may just recommend going on a chemo pill like I did and not have surgery, but that is a discussion you really should have with the oncologist. Before making any decisions and just going by what surgeons say, definitely speak with an oncologist that you trust and feel comfortable with who specializes in the colon. Please keep us posted, and I will pray that you will be guided to make the right decision.
