I had a follow up appointment with my surgeon today nearly 5 weeks after my op to remove a tumour from my sigmoid colon. 

Cancer is now staged as Dukes Stage B with no lymph node involvement. 17 lymph nodes were removed and examined and amazingly none of them showed any evidence of cancer. I was so pleased as I was convinced that at least one would be affected . 

My chance of surviving 5 years or more post op is now estimated to be 70%. Not bad odds, I can feel optimistic    about my chances. 

Next phase is appointment with oncologist in approx 2 weeks.
