biopsy colon
My stepmother could have colon cancer, which usually occurs after the diagnosis?
She went for a colonoscopy, the doctor could do because he said it was a large tumor in his colon. He took a biopsy and made an appointment for a CAT scan to see how much of it has spread. He said that even Caner if not they will have to remove the tumor. What does this all mean. I think it's really bad in both directions. Major surgery over the case, chemotherapy? Anyone who knows someone who went through this, what usually happens next?
Treatment and prognosis depends on the stage of cancer and you will not know until after surgery. Without even knowing what his symptoms were, how long he had them, physical examination and is the location of the tumor is impossible to even guess, because there is no "usual" for these situations. It can range from no treatment after surgery to be life threading. I hope it goes well.
