What should I expect from colon cancer surgery and chemo treatment?

Im in your shoes so to speak. I haven't heard whether there's any cancer in one of my lymph nodes yet, but so far it hasn't spread outside my colon. I go in for my surgery tomorrow. We aren't sure whether I will need chemo yet. Im praying for you. I will keep you posted as soon as I am able as to how the surgery goes

Let me know how the surgery goes. Mine is scheduled for the 13th

I had colorrectal surgery on the 8th of sept. Pain was at a minimum, but was diagnosed today that the cancer had went into my muscle but not the lymph nodes. I am.currently goin to the James at OSU with Dr.Arnold as my surgeon. Going all goes well with u.

Im still in the hospital after my surgery on the 29th. Surgery went well. Im in a lot of pain, but things are improving. Doctor wants to check my lymph nodes to be sure cancer hasn't spread to them, but overall she's fairly confident she got it all. She wants me to recover a bit before we do the tests. I should be released home tomorrow. The hospital staff here have been outstanding! As have my family and friends

Keep us posted. Get some rest

Everyone: Please look up IVERMECTIN there is so much on YouTube and the internet. I got mine from the all family pharmacy in FL via mail order. Made in the USA as well. Doctors are not talking about this - look that up . It has to do with Big Parma.

I was diagnosed in October and DŔ.showed me the Cancer in pictures after my colonoscopy right there 🙃 and I cried on my way home because I lost my Mom to Ovarian cancer Cyst burst and it was malignant so it was all through her body but she fought for a year before losing her battle and drove her self to the hospital and she passed away on 8/18/1975

The surgery and chemotherapy journey can feel overwhelming, but many people in this community have walked this path and found strength they didn't know they had. It's completely natural to feel scared right now, and taking things day by day is a wise approach that many find helpful during treatment. Others here have valuable experiences to share about both surgical recovery and chemotherapy - hopefully some community members will chime in with their insights to help you know what to expect.

Ll It's interesting to read the difference in treatment for seemingly the same cancer. My original oncologist has said I will need daily chemo, five days a week for six weeks along with daily radiation treatment at same time Is anyone else getting same regimen and how are you copung? Feeling?

Anonymous User, sorry for your loss. My dad had Prostate cancer that was cured using a radioactive isotope placed near his cancer. He was in his 60's, and lived to 76 dying to old age. My brother had kidney cancer, cancerous kidney was removed and because it was self contained he never requires chemo or radiation and that was over 30 tyears ago. We should all be so lucky
