Diagnosis

No shortage of great physicians and hospitals in this city.  In fact, it feels like half the doctors of NYC will have had a finger in my rec . . . recovery.  According the biopsy and two ultrasounds I have stage 2 or 3 rectal cancer.  The good news is that the cancer doesn't appear to have spread to any other major organs although it may have spread to a couple of lymph nodes.  Both surgeons that I visited recommended the same treatment plan, and they said this type of cancer is common and curable.
