HI U GOOD FOLKS DOING, , , , , , , , , , , , this is a pass on from what I've read. All who are to have a biopsy or cancer surgery should understand that when a cancer tumor is disturbed, then the cells can move to other places in the body and start anew. I have many late friends whose doctor told them, " I think I got it all".
The lowly OTC drug, Tagamet, can help you with this problem. Read this.

Last month (December 2015) I had an intestinal blockage. Turned out it was colon cancer. Since then I have read about, and started taking Cimetidine (Tagamet). The studies show that 800mg a day helps keeps stray cancer cells from metastasizing.
It also ups the ten year survival of (all) colon cancer patients from 60% without it....to 93% with it according to one study! That's HUGE!
If I had known about it earlier I would have started taking it directly after my resection...As it is, I have read it is still good to take for up to a year after surgery.
I have never believed in PPI's, in fact have always been against them....but the evidence seems to be clear. Even though I was told my lymph glands and liver were clear, my cancer had not spread, and the surgeon "got it all", I'm taking The cimetidine For the next 11 months.
I wanted to post this as a Heads UP to anyone with cancer, especially of the colon variety. Google "cimetidine colorectal study" to read more about it.
Best wishes to you, and I thank you for posting about it. :)
