January 2025

The provider's notes for this visit are confusing. In at least one spot (and likely more) they say I have colon cancer, but the point of this visit was to review pathology results following surgery to remove the cancer. The conclusion was that I do not currently have any known cancer.

I have received nothing but the best care across during all appointments since December from initial assessments to diagnosis to treatment plans.
