Hi everyone thank you for letting me joim this forum. My 80 year old father has just been diagnosed after having a colonoscopy which found a 50mm tumour. He is a very fit 80 year old except for the last 6 months. Bloods showed anaemia and he also had a positive fit test. The mdt meeting is Friday. After he had the colonoscopy the consultant mentioned surgery but said it depended on ct resuots. They have shown luckily it hasnt spread. We were all reeling whilst in the consultants office so didnt take it all in. Obviously weve been looking online but theres so much conflicting info. His gp mentioned possibly radiiotherapy. Wd they do that as well as surgery? Would they operate on an 80 year old? So many questions. Im just glad ive discovered this brilliant website.
