well i would stick with the most aggressive of treatments you can get and tolerate. im glad you don't feel high risk but in reality you are high risk especially with positive lymphnodes even though they may have been clear at time of surgery it does not mean other lymphnodes were not infected but have not shown yet. alot of colon cancer is sneaky and slow growing and alot of people diagnosed stage 3 often end up stage 4 even a few years down the road. i don't mean to sound negative and make you feel bad but do all you can, be very aggressive. i was diagnosed stage 4 june 06. i went through liver resection, 10 months of chemo and today feel just wonderful and am classified now as ned even though in reality i know this crap can come back. it is hard when you feel so good knowing this crap is lurking around in your body and can rear it's ugly head when it wants. im glad you feel good and you sound like a very positive person and that is a big plus but don't let it fool you do all you can. good luck!
