So after 1 month since the tumour was removed in my lower rectum through the Tamis Precedure, the tumour that was removed was found to be a 11mm cancerous mass in the middle which 9 biopsies missed beforehand.
Consultant advised
5 weeks of chemoradiation
10 weeks of letting the do its work.
And then APR surgery which he said was the golden standard to avoid any reacurance.
Im happy now a plan is in place as the waiting around was hard work. Also I have no issue with the plan.
Onwards and upwards.
Any advise off anybody that's gone down the same path?
