Wondering about follow ups

[Guest guest]

Follow-up I FOUND THIS ON ANOTHER SITE, THOUGHT I WOULD PUT IT ON

HERE YOU ALL OF YOU. FIGURED YOU WERE WONDERING ALSO.. LOL

OF COURSE EACH DR. MAY DO IT DIFFERENT. NANCY

Patients should see a doctor for a monitoring exam every three

months for two years after being treated for colon cancer, every six

months for the next three years, and every year afterwards. They

should have an annual chest X-ray. A colonoscopy should be performed

three to six weeks after surgery to check for tumors that might have

been missed by the surgery. If no recurrence is found, colonoscopy is

performed a year after surgery and then every two to three years

afterwards.
