They removed a foot of his colon and lots of lymph nodes. He took five days to recover in the hospital and a few months to feel more normal again.

He gets an annual colonoscopy. Surgery completely removed the cancer. He had large masses around tiny cancer noldules. So far he's clear.

Even a large mass might be removable.

No guilt. Get better soon.
