Colon Resection, cancer found in one lymph node: Treatment options?

That’s excellent.
You also had one cancerous lymph node and went ahead for 3 month chemo. Was it tolerable? I’m very reluctant to have chemotherapy and looking for some alternatives.
Thank you for sharing your story!

Chemo wasn't fun but certainly tolerable - not painful, just de-energising with some side effects such as tingling fingers. The third week of each session (4 sessions) was free of pills and enabled my wife and I to get away for a few days somewhere and do some walking. The first week of each session was the most difficult - an infusion on day 1 followed by lots of pills - but bearable. I would do it again if necessary. I'm aged 78.
