I am getting stronger every day and relying on pain medicine less and less so that is good news. I have been able to go on walks every day since I got home from the hospital and several were over an hour long. Last weekend was busy with a lacrosse tournament and a track meet on Saturday for my daughters. I went to both events, but only got a picture at the track meet. My Mom and my runner girl, Katie, are in the picture with me. I have NOT shrunk - we are standing on stadium steps and I am still taller than both of them!
I did get some bad news today, though, that the cancer has spread outside of the colon. Of the 25 lymph nodes that the surgeon removed to test for cancer cells, 3 tested positive. I don't know much more than that except that I will have to have another round of chemotherapy after I heal from the surgery. I don't return to Duke for a followup appointment with the surgeon and my oncologist until April 10th, so I probably won't know anything more until then.
