Great questions

I have had some great questions from many of you so I am going to answer here just in case others are wondering.
Is it cancer then? Yes it is absolutely cancer, to be more precise it is a adenocarcinoma. This is the most common type of colon cancer.
Definitely no chemo or radiation? As Dr Wise said he is "cautiously optimistic" that once the lymph nodes are removed they will still show no cancer(he is leaning more towards optimistic but I realize he is trying to keep me prepared either way) The cancer definitely is thru the muscle wall which places it as Stage 1. The success rate after 5 years cancer free is 96%.
Why did they initially say the lymph node was cancerous? A CT scan is done to find if the cancer has moved to another organ. The fact that the lymph node was quite a bit larger would initially indicate it was cancerous, only the ultrasound biopsy can determine either way.
How much time will I be off work(rehab)? It will be 4-6wks, I plan on taking the time I need in order to ensure I am 100% when I go back to work. In my mind I will then be able to put this behind me and move on.
In closing I will say this is the importance of early detection. I myself cannot admit to getting this  immediately looked at when I first noticed something wasn't right. I can however be comforted in the belief that I may have been given a "gift" in the outcome. Going back to one of my earlier posts, I am not a patient person. I push myself more than anyone else ever could(I have wonderful bosses and they certainly don't expect it). I know MANY people that drive themselves just like me.So if there are a few of them that look at this and say it could be me, I really should slow down and listen to my body, then in the end this is all worth it. The emotional roller coaster plain and simply sucks, but it could be much worse. I am blessed.
