Had the surgery 2/19 to remove the entire sigmoid colon and all the related lymph nodes.
Was in recovery 2/19 to 2/23 and released to go home!
The biopsy results came in late today and confirmed 0/12 lymph nodes were malignant. That's it! It's clean! No stage 3, no chemo required!
Follow up with the surgeon on 4/1 to talk about where we go from here, my guess is colonoscopies 2x a year for life now since it went from 0 to stage 2 in 6 months.
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, wear blue and get checked!
#✅UR:
Not sure when I'll be back modding, I still feel like someone slammed me in the gut with a baseball bat. Cricket bat for our international folks! Maybe another 2-3 weeks.
I still lurk and comment occasionally, just as my health allows!
Edit Bonus - Since my wife had her own medical event this year involving a massive infection, spinal intrusion and below knee amputation, we already hit the out of pocket maximum on our insurance for the year.
Sooo...

Get insurance guys, no, seriously, get insurance.
Very good news, i'm happy to hear about you being freed 👍
( now i fully get why you couldn't go on with the "keep track" community, amongst others )
Take care 🥲
