As I write this, I'm in a hospital bed recovering from having my sigmoid colon and all the associated lymph nodes, removed.

June of last year they found 17 polyps in a routine colonoscopy/endoscopy. 2 were abnormally large. The rule of thumb is "More than 5 or >5mm you get re-checked." Well, 17 total, one was 20mm, one was 30m.

But not cancer as of June.

Report back 1/14 - 6 more polyps and stage 2 cancer. Possibly stage 3, we'll know more in 5-7 days when lab results are back.

If it got into the lymph system, that's stage 3 and will need chemo.

March is colon cancer awareness month! Wear blue!
