Chris , statistically for stage 2 colon cancer with no lymph nodes affected there is a 10% chance for the cancer to come back within 3 years . i was just watching a webinar today about that . https://fightcolorectalcancer.org/fight/library/gi-asco-2020-recap-webinar/
did your Dr do a circulating tumor DNA around a month after the surgery ? . check the webinar . take care , Hrant

Thank you. And no, I know nothing about a tumor DNA. They were optimistic and saw no benefit for treatments at the time. My oncologist doesn't seem concerned, he said he was leaning toward a bad pic snap with the ct scan causing the thickness. Then today I got my labs and my CEA was 3.09 compared to 2.6 in June. I realize I'm more fortunate than most, and shouldn't worry. It's just anything about the C word scares me.
