I chose no chemo

hi worried child. The oncologist goes over the pathology report with you and looks very closely for risk factors. When I was told she could not find any risk factors to assume a recurrence I was greatly relieved...the main reason I am comfortable forgoing chemo was that the four proteins involved in replicating d.n.a in the nucleus of my cells ( I think called mmr) we’re working properly. In that case, chemo is actually not advised. The follow ups are three months apart for me too. By the way, I thought pet scans were not used on colon area? I was told only ct scans?

we were advised PET cT for my dad because his ct showed some soft tiasue nodule in ct in lungs ( he was tuberculous patient too) so to confim if they were from TB we had PEt and they were calcified old tb nodules

I believe that MMR is mismatch repair. This is a genetic mechanism to repair mutations.

How are You?

You've posted a while ago but just wondering how you are doing and what you decided.  Hope things are going well.

hello Kim

oncologist decided NO chemo because there is very few percent chance of benefit of chemo in stage 2a so he said he in his opinion doesnt want to burden normal body since in a recommenndation is it said if person is doing well physically chemo is not recommennded too and my dad asked him if he can take only xeloda doc said i still wont recommend only 3 montly followup fresh fruits and exercise 

thankyou for asking
