Well, my surgeon did my colonoscopy....normal.....now this even has me more confused about my situation. I could see me getting this friggen disease if I was prone to polyps or if I had some kind of bowel issues...colitis, irritible bowel disease or something. But, nothing. I had this one friggen polyp that developed into Stage 1V disease. I most certainly figured they would have found polyps or something with this colonoscopy but nothing. Has my change in diet and supplements helped, who knows, I hope so!! I kinda got all freaked out when I walked in the room and there was my surgeon with an anestesiologist. I just figured he was going to refer me to someone who does this procedure I was honestly surprised to see him in the room.

    Yep...I have CT scans and meeting with onc. end of July. Surgeon said to book appt. with him in a couple of months. I guess we'll just go scan to scan and keep plugging forward from there.

    Great
    Glad all is normal. It only takes one polyp to become cancer. So glad that your scope was clear.

    A clear colonoscopy is always good news-congrats. I too am NED but oncologist still sees me every three months for scans,blood work, etc. Expect to move to 6 month cycle after tis months visit. Lets beat this together. Good luck.
