What did your husband get as treatment after all?
I had a polyp that was between 3 and 4 cm from the anus and which we though pre-cancerous (from the colonoscopy's biopsy) removed transanally last December. The biopsy said there were positive margins, so I got a long-course of low-dose radiotherapy + 3 pills of chemo on the days of RT, to avoid a new surgery that could put the sphincter at risk. The RT provoked a rectovaginal fistula at 3.2 cm from the anus (very rare secondary effect) and a recent colonoscopy revealed a ¿new? polyp right across from the fistula. Therefore I'm getting a full rectum and mesorectum resection with a coloanal anastomosis at the end of the month. I have no doubts that it's the right thing to do, but I have so many questions about the post-op period and addaping to the colon having to do the job of the rectum.
