Hi there,
Back in March 2023 diagnosed with a tumour in colon ( thank goodness for screening) had surgery June 2023 bowel resection and some lymph nodes removed as there had been spread outside muscle wall. In an early pet scan a lung nodule shone up and has been monitored pre and post bowel surgery it did not change even after 12 week’s chemotherapy and in recent scans / monitoring . Recent times it did grow about 1.5mm . Long story short met with vascular surgeon three weeks ago and had it removed last Tuesday. The nodule was in to difficult a place to biopsy so far the advice has been that they don’t know for sure it is cancer. My mind is now gone into overdrive as if this is secondary bowel, then am really concerned as to how long it’s been there . Care has been great but sometimes I wonder whether I am getting full story on the likely outcomes. All monitoring scans don’t show any spread but am thinking if the nodule is secondary ( probably likely) or a new cancer as to what could be next . Possibly more chemo but not sure I understand what this would mean about further spread. If anyone has had a similar experience, I would really appreciate how it went and any advice.
