As I write this, I’m in a hospital bed recovering from having my sigmoid colon and all the associated lymph nodes, removed.
June of last year they found 17 polyps in a routine colonoscopy/endoscopy. 2 were abnormally large. The rule of thumb is “More than 5 or >5mm you get re-checked.” Well, 17 total, one was 20mm, one was 30m.
But not cancer as of June.
Report back 1/14 - 6 more polyps and stage 2 cancer. Possibly stage 3, we’ll know more in 5-7 days when lab results are back.
If it got into the lymph system, that’s stage 3 and will need chemo.
Since your waiting on the follow-up it might still be helpful to learn about the mitochondrial model of cancer.
It doesn’t hurt to go zero/very low carb while waiting for your results, then there isn’t extra glucose to feed any stray cancer cells floating around.

March is colon cancer awareness month! Wear blue!
Did you have any symptoms prior to the scan?
Started with mild anemia. Low red blood cell count, low hemoglobin, small red blood cells, etc.
Iron didn’t really help so it was colonoscopy #1 and Endoscopy #1, then a follow up colonoscopy 6 months later.
It might be worth your time to look at the mitochondrial theory of cancer: https://hackertalks.com/post/23421392
Happy to supply books, papers, and talk in depth with you on the details.
Tldr: cancer cells only burn glucose, using a very low carb diet as a adjunct to standard of care is a strict positive in treatment.
Genuinely I’m hoping you recover fully!
Diabetic so strict glucose control is already a thing.
This cancer was solved for surgically, we just don’t know yet if they got it all. 5-7 days on that!
I hope they got it all!
The sigmoid colon is gone, only question is if it snuck into the lymph system before they got it.
That becomes stage 3 with chemo. And it’s hanging over my head for 5-7 days (more like 2-5 days now.)
