What should I expect after colon surgery for adenocarcinoma?
Community Member
3 days agoI was recently diagnosed with an adenocarcinoma flat polyp in my transverse colon. Operation is soon to remove 12 inches and lymph nodes. CT was clear. CEA normal. Hoping for no lymph node activity. I’ve felt fatigue for the last 2 years during sports. I believe it was related to my body fighting this. Hoping for the best.
