Possible spread to peritoneum

Hi all,

  I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in Feb 2024. It was removed in April 2024 and I have 6 months of chemo to follow.

  I had my first annual CT scan and they found 'something'.  It went back to MDT yesterday and they aren't sure if it's cancer or if it's not.  There is a nodule behind the join from my left hemi-colectomy within my peritoneum (although it doesn't sound like it's in the wall of ther peritoneum from what they said).  The radiologist thinks its a reoccurence, but the rest of the team aren't sure (as they are colorectal specalists and not Periotneum) so are transferring me to a different MDT team after a PET scan.

 Has anyone had any positive outcomes from this kind of spread?  e.g. still on drugs but getting on with life, or had the op and it was fine. 

Thanks in advance - keep strong everyone.
