Hmm....that's a hard one for me Tina. It makes sense that the tumor could have changed after the ct but I really don't know. Sorry dear!
Love, Gail

It's hard to not overanalyzetina dasilva said:Thanks Gail
Thanks Gail I just don't know what to think anymore maybe I'm thinking to much . Because he is doing so well.
I used to do this with myself, but realized that I was driving myself insane. I definitely keep on top of things and still research what else I can do, but there are also times where I just have to let it go and not overanazlyze everything the onc says or doesn't say. But the fact that Jorge is doing well lately is definitely a good thing! Keep us informed as the time for his surgery gets closer.
Hugs to you,

Tina,
You are such a good wife. You and Jorge are a great team. I agree with Lisa on this. Sometimes we over analyze because we feel like we have to do something. At some point, after looking hard at things, you have to trust the docs. I'll be thinking about both of you as the surgery date gets closer.
Aloha,

Question
I do think we often tend to over-analyze things when it comes to cancer like the others have said. If your doctors have been good so far, chances are they are still doing what is the best thing to do.
I have not done radiation so I'm not familiar with the protocol. Who said it has to be 4 weeks between treatment and CT scan?
I wish you the best

phil it was the colon doctors helper who told us 4weeks0 -
for what its worth
my surgeon insisted i wait 12 weeks until after radiation and surgery. well my big tumour just kept on dieing, the net effect of combined radio and chemo.
some other surgeons were pushing 4 to 6 weeks break.
as other said don't over analyse, pick the best surgeon. when you have made your choice stick to it and have faith.
best of luck to you and jorge.

Guideline Used to be 6-Weeks
There is a window of about 6-weeks between the end of radiation treatments and a resection surgery.
The window is very tight - operate too early and his intestines still have inflammation making it hard to reconnect 2 good ends. Wait too much longer than 6-weeks and you have a situation where the scar tissue builds up and can hinder a surgery.
