Confirmed: Cancer Free! - Lemmy.World

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!
