Hi,


Im back with a question and an update......I guess I'll do the update first.


My dad has to go on Friday for a CT Scan===Does anyone know what that will show? Monday he goes for a bowel test now he's already had the colonospy so Im not sure if its another one or something different........And he and my mom also meet with the surgen on monday afternoon....so its a busy start of the week for them.


He asked my mom tonight what the chances are of him having a clostomy bag......and she didnt know how to answer him becuase she doesnt know what the chances are.....so my question......The cancer is in the lower bowel does anyone know what the chances are of him having to have one??


 


Thanks in advance for answering my question this board has been a great help to get me thru this very difficult time. I dont have any brothers or sisters to talk to so this has helped alot.


HUGS

Hi Jenn,


I'm sorry your family is having to go through this - it has to be tough being an only child during such a stressful time.

Do they tell you the results of the CT while your there or would it be when they go to see the surgen on monday?

Hi Jenn,


Well...a radiologist has to read the scan, so I doubt if you will get results right on the spot.
