Had my results meeting with surgeon today.
Having a LAR on 23 Feb - no radiotherapy required before but will require a temp Stoma - which although from reading others’ experiences was half expecting just need to get my head round.
The more worrying bit was he said there was a nodule show up on my scan on liver - he did say he had had a good look at my original MRI and didn’t think it was anything to worry about but just wants me to have a liver MRI to make sure before surgery. However I’m worrying.
Hi Bennysmum
if you click on my name you can read my bio. I had my LAR August so I’m a little ahead of you any questions just ask. The Stoma is daunting when you’re told I didn’t know the difference between a colostomy and Ileostomy!
I couldn’t worry pre op about the stoma all I could think of was getting that cancer out. Whatever it took. I think that’s a good way plan for it.
It sounds as if they’re not concerned about the liver but going to double check. You’re bound to be anxious about it. The worst part of this is the waiting and what ifs.
I hope that your scans done soon
Take care

I hope so.
The waiting and worrying is the worst. It’s reassuring he’s on the ball and checking everything before doing the op.
You take care and treat yourself
Ann
I had a couple of lung nodules on the first scans.they havent changed in 2 1/2 years so they think I probably have always had them and are nothing to worry about.
that your liver ones are similar.
All the best
