This time last year I was recovering from a resection op done on 4 November and just starting on a 3 month chemo course, taking Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine (Xeloda). I was diagnosed Stage 2 N1 - one cancerous lymph node being found out of 23 removed. Since April I've been leading a normal active life but walked as much as possible during the recovery period. This week I received the best possible Christmas present that the colon has healed well (a non-cancerous polyp was removed during the examination) and a CT scan shows no sign of cancer anywhere. I feel incredibly lucky and very appreciative of an excellent surgical and oncological team whose advice I have always followed. Best of luck with your follow up examinations.
