Hi all, Some of you know and many do not, I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer yesterday. Jan and I met with the surgeon today and feel much less scared than yesterday. Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday March 10th. They are going to remove the affected section of the colon and all the lymph nodes that are attached to it. Then they sew the two ends back together. I'll be in the hospital for 5 to 7 days and forgot to ask how long I'll be recuperating at home. We were told that according to the CT scan my liver appears unaffected and it doesn't look like the tumor has spread beyond my colon. They will biopsy all the lymph nodes and that will determine future treatment, probably chemo. As scary as this all is I can say at this point we anticipate a successful recovery. Thanks to everyone that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers.

Tom
