Mom's surgeon (Wheeler) just came by the hospital room and told us that the pathology report had returned, and it showed that Mom's tumor HAD gone through the colon wall and affected one lymph node (out of the nine near the ascending colon). Therefore, her cancer is considered "Stage III" and WILL require chemotherapy. He said that based on what the pathology report showed, the tumor has been growing inside her for probably eight or nine years.
