Hi sjane 

I'm not an expert but I don't think that the size of the tumour is always an indicator to whether it has spread or not. 

I assume that you will be having scans for a full picture of what's going on.  This is the most scary part not knowing. Once you know exactly whats going on it will be easier I promise. 

I was diagnosed the other way round I had a scan on my liver looking for gall stones but they found some tumours that had spread from somewhere else so I already knew my cancer had spread before they found the tumour in the bowel. I'm currently having chemo working towards shrinking the blighters so that surgery may be an option.

You might want to have a look on the "beating bowel cancer forum" as well because it's really helpful just Google it.
