Ouch!!!
Best of luck to you poboy! I'm so glad you caught it early enough for a good prognosis (I hope). Do you get to avoid chemo? My MIL is at very advanced colon cancer right now and it's not pretty!poboy said:I put it off and put it off, finally my family doctor took control. I am now four weeks post-op and the cancer was removed by a procedure called TEMS. I am now the expert regarding colonoscopy, rectal ultrasounds, bowel preps and transanal endoscopic surgery. Do it now. I have been changing the subject around my wife who so far has avoided the dreaded, "I told you to do this two years ago".

for colonoscopy vs flexible sig/fecal occult blood test vs the increased risk
of colonscopy (perforations/bleeding/anesthesia/etc.)
