What does adenocarcinoma at abdominal wall margin mean after colon surgery?

Finding adenocarcinoma at the abdominal wall margin after colon surgery can be concerning, but it's encouraging to see that all other surgical margins were clear and none of the 21 lymph nodes showed cancer spread. This is definitely something to discuss thoroughly with the oncology team, as they can explain what this specific finding means for the treatment plan and next steps.

Mine was found in 12 lymph nodes AND a tumor on the abdominal wall (peritoneum) Anyone else?

Yes my husband

My stage 4 rectal cancer has metastisized to the liver and lungs(adenocarcinoma). I'm newly married and just trying to find helps or and support while supporting others, this journey is scary and there are days I feel strong and confident and other days you feel lost and weak. Chemotherapy does that, takes all our energy and leaves me feeling like the shell I once was, but I can't give up I've too much I still want to do, places to travel, people to love and make more memories with. Any advice on supplements, clinical trials our just small ways to get by the hard days would be greatly appreciated

When you’re fatigued, rest. When you’re nauseous have some nausea medication to take. When you have diarrhea, I have medication for that if you’re constipated have medicine for that. Some of these things you can get over-the-counter and I do that, but I also have prescription medication for as many as those symptoms as I can get. That works even better. Ask your doctor. Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with I’ve been a colon cancer stage four patient for more than 10 years.

Congratulations on the recent wedding Cynthia🩷 I also have stage 4 metastatic colon cancer to a total of 28 lymph nodes and my abdominal wall. I have a few small spots on my lungs they are "watching". Cancer sucks...chemo is hell....but we refuse to let it win!!!! There are things out there to help almost everything. The key is to keep open communication with your oncologist and join a few cancer sites (colon) and ask for advice, it helps so much to talk. When you realize there are SO many others out there dealing with what youre going thru or sadly worse but living their life....youll get thru each day and thats all that matters. Be positive😊
