Just joined my elderly mum had a right hemicolectomy yesterday for a large transverse colon tumour. The surgery was more complicated as it was stuck to the duodenum but surgeon wasn’t too concerned. They had to change from a laproscopic to an open op unfortunately. I was concerned that my mum had a CT done in November 2023 of her bowel and there was no tumour noted yet 12 months later she has a large tumour probable T3 but no evidence of mets. This was done at a different hospital but now concerned something was missed. My mum appears to be coping well. Has had a double barrelled stoma in place that is working.
