From the cecum in the right lower quadrant, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, to the sigmoid colon in the left lower quadrant, the length of the adult colon is approximately 150cm. The transverse colon and sigmoid colon are intra-abdominal organs, that is, they are "free" in the abdominal cavity, and their lengths are approximately 45cm. The cecum, ascending colon, and descending colon are relatively short, inter-abdominal organs, and the posterior wall of the intestine is adjacent to the retroperitoneal tissue without a serosa layer.

The length of the colon and intestines is relatively long, and the scope of surgical resection can be sufficient. Therefore, most colon cancers are treated with surgery first, including some stage IV colon cancers (when liver and lung metastases are evaluated for surgery or radiotherapy). So, what should you pay attention to after colon cancer surgery?

First of all, build up the confidence to fight cancer, adjust your mentality as much as possible, and psychologically cannot cross the line. A bad mood will affect diet, and nutritional supplements, and also make people lazy about activities. This will cause the patient's immune system function to decrease, and the cancer will become arrogant if the patient is weak!

It is inevitable for such a serious illness to be in a bad mood.
