Hi Loopy and welcome to NeuroTalk!

I guess I have something similar to you....or at least I did!

I have MS (diagnosed for 31 years now) and last year in September, I had a hemicolectomy for an adeno-carcinoma at the ileo-ceacal junction. The surgeon removed all of my bowel on the right side, and I was lucky enough not to need a colostomy with a pouch outside my abdomen for bowel movements.

I just had my 12 months check colonoscopy and although there were two new polyps found including one where the new join is in my bowel, both were considered benign.

I am reading your fear, so I was wondering if you also had a hemicolectomy, and if you did, was there reason to think some of the tumour was left behind?
