Because the tumor was too large, a traditional removal was made; however, the tracking caused by the laparoscope has caused me untold grief, pain, additional years of chemotherapy, radiation and two additional surgeries.Initially, my oncologist said that surgery of the abdominal tumor was not an option. Thank God i found your study. Upon showing it to my dr., i was sent to the Moffitt Hospital in Tampa Florida where my abdominus rectus was successfully resected. my surgeon there is Dr. David Shibata. Two months later i had another recurrence in my small bowel, caused by dropped cells. This was also removed at Moffitt. i am very grateful to say that a year since has passed with no recurrences and clean pet scans. i sincerely hope no other cancer patient endures my own history. i know that if my first tumor had not been touched by a laparocope, i could have been spared unspeakable pain and grief. i am a 45 year old mother of three teenagers, very grateful to still be here. Thank you! i would be happy to share the details of my case if it could be of any benefit to a larger study.
