Just found out I’m stage three 3b colon cancer

Posted by cesare12345 @cesare12345, 3 days ago

MRI was done two weeks after a 4.0 x 3.6 x 0.6 was removed through rectum , it was just a partial part of the tumor,
My question is what are the odds that my 5 lymph nodes that are 12 mm ,were affected by surgery and staples from surgery
I know I have to wait for pet scan but the waiting is killing me from the inside .
Emvi was negative so was crm
Tumor is t 3 (3 mm)

Had surgery 3/27 permanent ostomy.
Ive adjusted well and first 3 month follow up next week.

I’m sorry to hear of your diagnosis.

Unfortunately it’s not possible to guess what your scans will show or what that will mean for your treatments.

I can’t tell you how many scans I’ve had since 2021. It doesn’t get easier waiting for the results each time. “Scanxiety” is a real thing in our community. I had my latest scans yesterday and will see my oncologist next week to discuss the results.

Please do keep in touch with us - this is a great community to share and get support ❤️‍🩹
