Radiology Reports

My wife and I met with my primary care doctor after the holiday weekend and we were given printouts of the radiology reports and we discussed what the next steps would be.

The findings were that, indeed, I did have sigmoid adenocarcinoma and the tumor and some lymph nodes would need to be removed by a surgeon.

The reports also indicated a couple of minor incidentals, but were thought to be nothing to worry about and we were referred to a surgeon.

Primary Care Doctor

It was not a very good weekend for me or my family as we didn't know what would be happening next. We had an early appointment with my primary care Doctor first thing after the holiday weekend.


He gave us printouts of the radiology reports and discussed what was probably going to happen next. The reports indicated that indeed I did have Sigmoid Carcinoma and would need surgery and then some kind of chemotherapy.


The findings on the reports also indicated that I had "moderately severe descending diverticulosis" and that some lymph nodes showed signs of possible cancer. There was also mention of some incidentals that showed some FDG uptake in my tonsil pillar area believed to be scar tissue from a very old surgery (tonsilitis) and a low density lesion in the liver was probably a hepatic cyst and no focal lung, liver, spleen, pancreas or adrenal FDG uptake.


I was then referred to a surgeon and oncologist.
