19 years ago daughter had ileostomy then J-pouch - she had lost 55 lbs and with 22 blood transfusions they said she would have to have surgery. About six months ago she started getting an abcess -(hard lump) has gone to world reknown hospital as well as local where her CEA was high but even an oncologist told her she did not have cancer. Well we just came from a well known DC colo-rectal Dr. He can't believe it - she has colon cancer but not a colon? She has had every kind of tests the last three months and now tell her she needs chemo - so before she does anything she is going to see the surgeon who originally did the surgery who is 19 hours away and the oncologist (local)who told her she did not have cancer and gave her a rather pestered look ---
