MRI scan 3 months after end of treatment

Hello G008

I think it was a later scan that showed some thickening where the tumour had been.  I had a sigmoidoscopy which showed proctitis and the thickening was scar tissue.

I very much hope that it is the same for you, I am so pleased that you are feeling so well.

Please let us know how you get on.

Thanks Irene, I really hope that’s the case x

My wife’s first scan showed excellent response to the (large) tumour in that it didn’t exist anymore but they noted two lymph nodes were enlarged. A follow up ultrasound+biopsy was booked and took place about 6 weeks later - that was last week. They decided not to do the biopsy on the day because one lymph node was no longer detected and the other had shrunk substantially. So nothing to do but put the date of the 2nd mri in the diary :)

yes, scar tissue or residual inflammation might simply be the reason. All the best.

Ok many thanks , it’s all so worrying isn’t it - all the best to you guys too x
