No worries!
Did you have Chemotherapy? Any lymph node involvement?
We had surgery in the same month of the same year... I was also Nov 2013.
The 2 year mark is significant! 80% colon cancer recurrences happen in the first two years... my CT is in January so if we both get the pass mark, statistically we will be looking pretty good .
I'm naughty - I still drink a lot haha.
Best wishes to you.

Mine was T3N0M0. All very scary at the time. Good luck for the next scan. I don't know when or if I shall have another one. Cheers.

Some more good news for you...
My wife was diagnosed T3N0M0 in Aug 2012 for high rectal/rectosigmoid
Surgery Sept 2012 no ileo
No chemoradiation
We just had her 3yr NED celebration
Surgeon and Onc at a major cancer center both told us 2yrs was big, but this is really big.
So keep going, there is hope......
