My husband recently got diagnosed with stage 3C colon cancer. His surgery went really well and he has recovered so well. But now we have to do chemo. Just anxious about the whole situation. His cancer type is grade 2 and the mucinous type so worried about the overall outcome. Just very very stressed.
Hi @Indrani
Welcome to the cancer council community (also known as the very very stressed club).
I'm sorry to hear about your husband.
I'm glad to hear that he is recovering well.
Does he have further treatment planned?
Thank you for your response. Yes, he will need chemo. The surgeon said he has done his best to remove everything compromised and his pathology report indicated clear margins which is great! But we are yet to find out about his chemotherapy schedule. Pretty sure it will be for 6 months but yes not sure what to expect. His surgery was on the 7th Nov.
That's great news.
They usually give you a while after the surgery to recover before starting the chemotherapy, and then it might be 12 rounds (might be a bit different, depending on treatment) of chemotherapy.
How are you?
Feeling a bit lost. But looking forward to the apppointment with the oncologist. HOw are you doing?
