My Cancer Journal: PET Scan and Treatment

This series of diary is very informative, but also actually so personal that it makes the listener feel in your shoes. Little details, the flow of events and all are so well told, well communicated. Great job.
You have gone through the tunnel. Happy to hear that.

How can I contact you for some advice on my current colorectal cancer dilemma. I'm in alot of pain rectally and I'm confused because idk if I've got a blockage or if it's constipation???
Since we both experience colorectal cancer I figured maybe you've got some information I could ask my oncologist to see just how and why I have rectal pain burning and itching...🙏❤️😪

Can you share if your diagnosis was stage III a,b or c? There appear to be some different treatment approaches within stage III based on if you are a,b or c. Thanks

[@SurvivorJelena]

I believe they considered me 3a
