Colon cancer metastasis
Common Questions and Answers about Colon cancer metastasis
colon
Going by the case history, I think that perhaps pleural cancer has resulted as a result of metastasis from the bladder cancer or from colon cancer. Metastasis means the spread of cancer. Cancer cells can break away from a primary tumor and enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system. That is how cancer cells spread to other parts of the body.
Metastatic cancers may be found before or at the same time as the primary tumor, or months or years later.
In 2013 I had diverticulitis which sent me to er and how the cancer was first found and metastasis. Scans have been clear since whipple. Have had many problems with stomach past few months with pain and bowel habits changing. Any help is appreciated!
My friends' husband has been diagnosed with colon cancer. They found a tumor that is very low in his colon. They have removed the tumor but, have discovered that it has spread to his longs. The are telling her that he has T3N1M2 and that it is a blood born cancer. She asked that I try to look this up for her and (because I talk about this site all of the time) she asked that I ask you guys. Any information would be beneficial.
My father was diagnosed with colon cancer 16 months ago, had laparoscopic surgery to remove tumor and part of his colon and was diagnosed last week with metastasis to his liver. There doesn't appear to be cancer anywhere else, after his pet and mri scans but they'll know more when they operate.
I just want to know what is the goal here-to buy him as much time as possible and if so, how much are we talking about or could this even potentially be cured? Thank you.
Worldwide studies of tens of thousands of people have demonstrated, as is true of me, that increased CEA can be associated with diabetes or other metabolic syndrome.
But it's not always, so I am not saying that everyone with diabetes will have a false positive CEA. The reality is that, if one's CEA is elevated, I believe one needs to be checked for cancer in general, and colon cancer in particular.
If the bowel wall thickening and lymphadenopathy persists/worsens, then this more concerning for cancer/metastasis and surgery may be considered.
My mother had colon cancer 1 year ago, had surgery and chemo. The cancer is back and is stage 4 and in the peritoneal cavity. She is 76 years old. The doctors are not giving us much hope for treatment relative to quality of life. We are seeking a second opinion with our doctors blessing. I have been searching the internet also. I feel that we are quickly loosing her.
My father is 78 y.o. and went through several surgeries last year for an aneurysm. He never quite fully bounced back. About 2-3 months ago he started experiencing paralysis in his lower legs. He is mobile until 3 pm and then his lower legs lock to the point that he cannot move. He reports his brain tells him to run, but then his legs won't move. He has fallen several times. His urinary incontinence has spiked. He was just released from the hospital after many tests were run.
I had colon cancer & surgery which was successful. I had 6 months of chemotheropy. There are 3 remaining lesions on my liver - which shrunk after chemo. I have been told to do more chemo. However, I cannot. I am looking for alternative. I am aware that there are herbs to get rid of any tumers - cancerous or otherwise. I would appreciate either a rec oriental practicionar or another way to go. Who or what do you suggest? Thank you.
May I get your comment on what the following results show? 76YO Male, colon bisection in 2003 for cancerous polyps and possible lymph node. CT scan in 7/06 showed no abnormalities. Thank you.
FINDINGS:
The heart size is within normal limits. There is no pericardial effusion or thickening. Coronary arteries calcifications are noted. The thoracic aorta enhances appropriately. Scattered calcifications are noted throughout the aorta.
A 3.4 x 2.5 cm soft tissue mass is seen at the LEFT hilum.
Hi, you cannot male decisions on pathology report alone.
First of all, whenever you get a path report indicating cancer, ALWAYS ask your doctor to send the glass slides to a major cancer center with good pathology department for a second opinion. It looks like your tumor is in situ and slow growing one (well differentiated and no lymphovascular invasion are a good thing, but again, these findings need to be confirmed by a second opinion).
This pertains to liver transplant patients; they must not take aspirin or nonsteroidal inti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) at any time due to the risk of kidney damage. Common NSAIDS to avoid are Motrin, Ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve, and Naprosyn. Any cold medication or decongestants containing pseudoephedrine or other decongestants should be avoided unless your doctor has given permission. Tylenol for headache or pain - not for fever - can be taken not to exceed 1800mg in 24 hrs.
Hi,
The chemotherapy could improve symptoms and may extend survival. In general, the one year survival rate would be increased by about 10% or so. What is a bit crucial is what does less than healthy mean? As cancer advances, it affects daily more and more. How much the cancer is affecting daily living are among the things considered when planning the treatment.
Oh my goodness. This is a lot to worry about for you! I'm sorry!! So, you are a breast cancer survivor in remission? When do you get your pet scan results? It is my understanding that metastasis in the bones typically will have pain associated with it. The other thing that is common to it is broken bones. You are having some pain. I'm glad you got checked out. My dear friend died after metastasis in bones/breast cancer but it was in her chest bones. Very sad. https://www.
