Starting Chemo/Radiation for Stage III - surgery?
Posted: 2021-01-11 11:02:48
Just got diagnoised in early DEC.2020. Reeling from news. I have seen all the doc. The tumor (not mine, won't own it) goes before a board for best options for keeping colon after treatment. TNT is a relatively new treatment for colorectal cancer -40% can be cancer free with NO surgery. My trouble is I have mild Ulcerative Colitis. Tumor close to my spincter, but not there. Worry the radiation may ruin what is there..and then I have no muscle down there. I've read several of you are happy you rid of your colon without going through the surgeries that leave you in bathroom when you eat wrong thing. The thought of losing my colon puts me in tears. Confused. Scared. Going to therapy today to help deal with this horrible thing.
I am using natural healing methods. Anyone using other methods than chemo/radiation? Thanks for support. Just joined today.
