The doctor who removed my appendix has informed me that I need a right hemi colectomy ASAP. My pathology report mentions both goblet and signet cells. SOS, all your advice and help is greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to have an appointment with a doctor from Sloan Kettering Memorial on Wednesday but she is out of town and I will know for certain if my appointment is still on tomorrow. What should I be asking?<br /><br />Thank you so much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377218771506051065.post-87739601483419635082010-09-04T12:02:13.296-05:002010-09-04T12:02:13.296-05:00Yes, before starting chemo my oncologist said we w...Yes, before starting chemo my oncologist said we would have to see how my particular DNA responded to treatment. It apparently helped some as there was some burned out cancer and limited cancer when I was reopened for the last surgery and shake n bake. That was 17 months ago. <br /><br />Lauren EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
