Colon Cancer Support Group

Hi, I am due for my first chemotherapy on 15th Feb - i guess then it will become more 'real', although I have been through considerable torment with a stent proceedure in my Sigmoida few weeks ago, (1.5 hours on a trolley with only gas!) and still no firm biopsy report after several attempts including from liver (it has spread, not sure how much, I think just a little) The stent took a week at...

Hi everyone. Had surgery on April 7th of this year. Diagnosed with colon cancer. Everything happened so fast. Diagnosed in March,  and surgery in april.

I wanted to share this for those of you fighting to stay alive.. 12 years ago I delivered my second child while just 1 floor up in the hospital my 73 YO FIL had a 5 cm tumor removed from his colon. I worked in health care and I knew it wasn't going to be good when the doctors announced that he also had mets to his liver and lung. I brought my baby with me to show him before I left the...

My father had colorectal cancer back in 2014... went thru 2 rounds of chemo, 2 rounds of radiation, surgery to remove part of his colon, etc. He was doing fantastic after the surgery and went into remission. About a year ago they found some spots on his lung scans which were extremely small and couldn't even do a biopsy on it plus all his tests were still coming back great. He had another...

My father passed away on the 17th February 2017 after a long battle of metastatic colorectal cancer. He suffered badly.But he never complained he was always playing his illness down, which annoyed me at appointments, he never wanted to cause a fuss.Now my world has been torn apart I no longer can speak to him or text him. But i am assured that he knows I will always love him.

 First let me say i have anxiety....lots of it...i am also in a leukemia group here ...i just lost my finacee 5 weeks ago.After he passed i figured it was time for me to get a checkup as i was due for my yearly...just turning 50 the dr wanted me to have a colonoscopy.  I refused and he gave me a "cologuard" test which checks dna in stool.  Well of course it came back positive. needless to say...

I just found out that I have Colon Cancer in my sigmoid. The tumor was so large, I had to stay on soft food after the colonscopy and they got me into surgery right away. I had a Robotic assisted Sigmoidectemy and the tumor was fully removed and they did a colon ressection. After testing 22 lymph nodes they found 7 had cancer in them. The oncologist said this moves me to a Stage 3b and I will need...

Good evening!  I am in dire need of help or suggestions.  My Father-in-Law (FIL), 77 was recently diagnosed with colon cancer.  He hadn't been feeling well for a few months and took himself to the ER last Friday due to no appetite and feeling "icky".  Make a long story short, he had surgery the next day to remove the entire right side of his colon due to having a large mass and possible colon...

Hyya, I just decided to join this online support group, although my CC dx was 11/2013, surgery was 12/2013 with bowel resection.  I chose not to do chemo because I went through that ordeal when I had BC in 2005...it almost killed me then and I wanted a bit of quality in my life as opposed to bing dragged down by chemo.  I had also lost 30 pounds before the CC surgery and I still have not...
