Thanks Colleen, it’s been a week that I’ve been living with it, and I’m not as emotional wrecked as I originally was. I had my scan on Friday - showed no masses or signs of metastatic disease, but I know from what Reid told me things might be too minuscule to show up until the next scan. I have an appointment with my oncology team tomorrow after work, and a phone meeting Wednesday with my surgeon at MUSC. I should know more after those.
I did have a phone conference with a genetic counselor at Signatera, and she was helpful with understanding the numbers a bit more and some good general knowledge. Right now I’m hoping the circulating tumor dna is residual, rather than a new occurrence. And hoping for some new drug besides the FOLFOX if I do need chemo.
🙏🤞
I will update after I get some news.

No signs of metastatic disease is great news. Hopefully it is confined in the colon and has not broken out into the lymph node system. I had 1 lymph node that tested positive for colon cancer and that was all it took, in my case, to start small spots on the lung and liver. I am grateful with all the testing that we were able to catch this early before becoming a bigger problem.
