Confused about diagnosis: Carcinoid tumor in rectal area

My margins were not clear in June either, so I go back in January. My doctor at Mount Sinai (part of an NET center in NYC) said that prior removal, first from the biopsy, then surgical procedure, leave a scar, so they map the scar and will remove more in January, if necessary. I have photos from the procedure, so I could make out a bit what he was talking about before he removed more.

Hello @merenyc,

Your post was very informative as well as helpful. I appreciate you sharing your experience with @kdbug and the group as a whole. It sounds like it was helpful for you to have the photos from the procedure. Your doctor sounds very thorough.

How are you feeling since the first surgery?
