After the colonoscopy which was done friday .7.01.22 i was informed by the nurse that there is a 3cm suspected malignant tumor in my rectum. I was so devastated and tears just flowed from my eyes. I was told that a tissue sample was taken and will be send for biopsy. Tuesday 11 december i had my mri pelvis. I am so worried and unable to sleep since friday . Is a 3cm malignant tumour bad? Or has it spread or is it aggressive?please do reply if anybody here has had a 3cm tumor. Many thanks and regards to all. Godbless

Hi Wil66. There’s some suggestions on page 9 of this book but they may cover a lot of them at your meeting. I think I’d want to know what treatment plan they have in place, is there any spread, will I need a stoma, are you treating me with a view to cure.

Great news. Did they say any more about what the treatment plan was?

I don’t have enough experience to know if meeting the oncologist means you’ll have chemo first? Seems like a reasonable guess.

Hi Martinherts, i will know the treatment plan on thursday . I will keep everyone here informed

Great. Like others have said, the biggest thing is that there is a plan. Good luck with the meeting. Ask lots of questions and take a notepad. I found the whole thing was a blur afterwards.
