Treating Colon Cancer - What You Need to Know!

[@JamesDunn-vs6rc]

We're very fortunate to have people like you, willing to take the concern, to share your knowledge with people like me that have to go through this and have no clue what to expect. Very Helpful.

Thanks for this video. My mum was recently diagnosed with Stage 2 T3N0M0 moderately differentiated, PNI(-) LVE(-) BRAF(-), MSS cancer on the hepatic flexure. (28 nymph nodes all negative). Low tumor budding score. We travelled to Taiwan for it to be removed/treated by an excellent team/surgeon. Your video, specifically case 2 helped a lot for us to understand. It was a very difficult, life changing and humbling six weeks from initial scary diagnosis to surgery and biopsy results for us. I think due to my mum's age (74) - chemo was not chosen and close monitoring was advised. Would this also be your advise too?

[@citizensurgeon]

Thanks so much for sharing you and your mum’s story, I think you made a very thoughtful decision. All of these decisions are so personal and it’s clear that you thought of everything, including your mum’s age, health and ability to tolerate therapy. I really appreciate your feedback.

@@citizensurgeoncolonoscopies every 3-5 years will be on my current life roadmap! Also telling my siblings to do so too. Thanks again! Final note: would love a video on what you eat in a day, what a typical day looks like, what kind of workouts do you do and why you chose to be a physician. 👍

I second what the with the previous commenter said! Your generosity with your time and knowledge is amazing! Is immunotherapy going to be the way of the future or is it simply another tool in the arsenal for treatment of cancers?

[@citizensurgeon]

Thanks Nora! I think taking advantage of our immune system to join the fight against cancer is truly a powerful leap forward!!

[@noraclark7677]

@@citizensurgeon I know two people who have had immunotherapy with a successful outcome. One has unfortunately recently had a recurrence of the cancer but he did achieve remission after immunotherapy when all other treatments had failed. Hoping these wonderful advances keep coming.

Why are you so underrated

[@citizensurgeon]

I appreciate you, I am here to serve and maybe, some day, we’ll blow up! Until then let me know what you would like to learn and I’ll put something together. Recording a video on BRCA today. Should be out tomorrow!
