My stepmom might have colon cancer, what usually happens after the diagnosis? |
She went for a colonoscopy, the doctor couldn't perform it because he said there was a huge tumor in her colon. He took a biopsy and made her an appointment for a CT scan to see how far up it has spread. He said even if it isn't caner that they will have to remove the tumor. What does all this mean. I guess it is really bad either way. Major surgery plus the possibly of chemo? Anyone know someone that went through this, what happens next usually? Treatment and prognosis depends on the stage of the cancer and you will not know that until after surgery. Without even knowing what her symptoms were, how long she had them, the physical exam finds and the location of the tumor it鈥檚 impossible to even guess, as there is no 鈥渦sual鈥?for these situations. It can range anywhere from no treatment beyond surgery to it being life threading. I hope it goes well. Yes.I don't cancer chemotherepy. chemotherapy kills a third of the time. go raw vegan and you will live. |
