Do people NED for >5 years consider themselves cured or do their oncologists consider them cured?
Just interested to hear peoples stories as above.
And if not, why don't you feel cured?
Thanks

A colonscopy showed a 5cm caecal malignant looking polyp last week. I had a CT staging scan the following morning which shows the obvious caecal lesion and also a local lymph node that's suspicious. I'm being discussed in the MDT tomorrow to get a plan.
My question is; has anyone had a lymph node show on their staging scan that has then been cancer-free/reactive after they've had surgery and the histology back?
Obviously I'm going in thinking worst case and that it's a positive lymph node, but just hoping for some success stories as well.
Thanks!
Had my colonoscopy today to investigate the cause of my severe anemia (Hb 71) and positive FIT. I’m a 30 year old male.
Colonoscopy shows a 5cm sessile polyp (probably malignant) Paris Is, pit type V. The polyp is described as nodular and polypoidal.
With all of the above it sounds like colorectal cancer. Having a CT scan tomorrow and then MDT meeting a week today.
Just looking for any words of wisdom/success stories/things to lift the spirits!
Hi all,
I attended my GP with occasional night sweats and fatigue a week ago. Had bloods which showed severe IDA (Hb 71 and iron 2). Had a FIT test which has come back positive. CRP and ESR are normal, along with normal liver function.
No real weight loss (maybe 2-3kg but I have been eating better the last 2-3 months), no abdo pain, no change in bowels. Normally quite constipated as a result of a spinal injury.
Obviously worried it could be bowel cancer. Just wanting some reassurance/words of wisdom from people that may have been in a similar position.
Thanks!
