Hi I have a 5.5cm rectal tumour 12cm margin from anal verge, found on colonoscopy on 14th December 24, biopsy showed Adenocarcinoma, MRI & CT came back with T3N2MO (4 lymph nodes) I'd like to ask, how long did people waited for their treatment to get started
Hi. My husband 4cm tumour 10cm margin. T3N2M0. Diagnosed 16 September. After mri ct scans then further mri on liver treatment started 10 December. He had 5 weeks of radio chemotherapy and now about to start 2nd cycle of capox. He is doing ok so far. We are West Midlands so think it depends what area on how quick treatment is started. Hope you are ok.
Hi jbrad, glad your husband is doing ok so far, I'm in the West Mids too
1st MDT meeting held 27rh December, treatment plan, 25 days of radiotherapy, 6 weeks break then chemo, haven't had any treatment so far. Started struggling with bowel movement so planned were changed this week, to have stoma end of week & start chemo sometimes early March
