Colon Cancer Surgery?

by Ted
(Birmingham)

I had 4 polyps removed in June and a 4cm lesion was found. Part of it was removed and found to be precancerous. Went back in aug for another attempt to get the lesion. Due back in November for more work on lesion removal. When do you decide if surgery might be better?

Colon Cancer Surgery?
by: Albert

Hi Ted

Try to avoid surgery. Surgery has so many side effects. Before you consider surgery, please view some patients’ online comments that did the surgery and their experience with it. Do the surgery only if you have to and there is no other alternative.
