Question: Living with Colorectal cancer

abrub posted an update
Surgery happening soon. All testing/scans are done and the new tumor has to come out. Surgery next week at Sloan Kettering, estimated to take 5-9 hours, between working through all the scar tissue, and resecting a ureter and resecting my vagina. Looks like potentially 3 surgeons on the team: my Main Man - colorectal surgeon Dr. Paty; plus a urologist to handle the ureter resectioning/redirecting, and a plastic surgeon to handle a possible vaginal reconstruction. Estimated hospital stay is about 2 weeks.
Are we having fun yet?

Oh No (Cancer is back/Recurred ): As my dr is talking to me about complete discharge from follow-up at 9 years out, my radiology report from the MRI I just had comes in, and shows a new tumor. Back to the salt mines...

It's BACK! Just when my dr was getting ready to discharge me to the world, at 9 years post-treatment, my scan came back with a new tumor. Surgery and more IP chemo a the end of the month. The theory is a rogue cell escaped and hid from everything 9 years ago, and has slowly been recruiting forces (growing.) The tumor is finally big enough to see, tho in retrospect, scans from a1 1/2 year ago show the very start of the thickening. At least it's a slow growing nasty.
Not happy.
