Hello everyone, I am new to this board. I have a close relative who has been undergoing treatment for fallopian tube cancer. She's finished with intra-peretonial chemo and two small tumors were found after that, so she is now undergoing radiation therapy. She had a colostomy done during her original surgery back in January, and the plan is to reverse the colostomy after she finishes radiation.
So here's the issue: Her oncologist insists the surgery should be completed 4 weeks after she completes radiation, to avoid any scar tissue that may build up. Her surgeon, on the other hand, wants to wait at least 6 months to be sure the cancer is completely gone.
Needless to say, this is causing her much anxiety. If anyone has any similar experience, we would appreciate your insights.
Thanks,
Kathy
