New Here...Colon Resection....

Hi.  I am new to this message board.  I was diagnosed with colon cancer in Nov 2008. Tumor was removed in November...Also had a colon resection. Went through Chemo from January thru June of this year (2009). Follow up MRI in July was good.  My oncologist was pleased. Also had my first 3 month blood work and my oncologist said all looked great! So, I just came up to the anniversary date of my first diagnosis.  Getting ready to have another colonoscopy in January 2010. Hoping to touch base with someone who also had a colon resection.  A year later and I still find myself running to the bathroom (is this normal?)
