>Hi gang,

>

>My 74 year old mother, through a routine colonoscopy, had a large adenoma

>(cancerous) polyp removed. The doctor that removed the polyp is 99.9% sure

>she removed all of it, however, to be extra sure, she is suggesting that my

>mother have 6 " of her colon removed. Has anyone had any experience with

>this type of cancer? Do you think removing 6 " of her colon makes sense, or

>perhaps close follow-ups and testing are better? Also, what about diet,

>vitamins/minerals and herbs?

>

>Thanks in advance for all your help!
