Colon Cancer Support Group

Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or bowel cancer, includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix. Many colorectal cancers are thought to arise from mushroom-like growths that are usually benign, but some may develop into cancer over time. The majority of the time, the diagnosis of localized colon cancer is through colonoscopy.

Mine started in my appendix(2007), by the time they operated my appendix had burst, during the first op they removed my appendix and some of my colon.

Fast forward 3 years(2010) scans showed a mass in my abdomen and on my liver, Second op they removed my gall bladder, omentum, my right side peritoneal lining, my right side diaphramatic lining.

Fast forward another two years(2012) it's now on my stomach, around the main blood vessels to the liver and on the surface of my pancreas, they removed half my stomach, a chunk of liver, a slice of pancreas, one year later I'm currently cancer free.

The surgery I had was cytoreductive surgery with heated interperitoneal chemo (HIPEC)

If you research a condition called Pseudomyxoma Peritonei you'll find all the information about the procedure and chemo that I had.

Bella I am sorry to hear. My brother has colon cancer and had chemo, a surgery. Then has infection, ostermy bag and open wounds which is not good. I don't know what to do either. He still has cancer. He is too weak for chemo and another surgery for clean up and have a permanent bag.

I suggest you contact American Caner society and colon cancer alliance which they would match you with someone who has the same problem to connect with you. I have to do this for my brother too. check out their website.
