Thanks Tom.  I've been a reasonably active member in a colorectal cancer forum.  I'm talking there about treatments and such (as much as one can when one has very little information).  I may poke around here for information about lobectomies, etc, if it comes to that.  Thanks for the support!  I genuinely appreciate the welcome and knowledge I've received here.

I don't know anything other than it is the colon cancer.  They are still doing some test to help determine treatment.  I'm trying to get an appointment for add early next week as possible.

Thanks for the fast response, Tom.  I had actually gotten used to not having "scanziety".  Great term.
NED seems to be the common phraseology, even if it is hard to explain to the general public.  I do appreciate your insights into possible causes of the node growth.  I was convinced it was nothing until I consulted Dr. Google and found the rate in the middle of the typical range for malignancy.  I don't know how/if the can tell if something like this was a met or a new primary if it does turn out to be cancer.
I guess it is just a matter of a week of being scared until I know whether to be really scared or not.
