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.

On Sept.13th I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer metastasized to the liver. I haven't started chemo yet. I am wondering if there is anyone out there that has any idea what is in store for me. I know not all people are the same or react the same but I would like to have an idea of what's next.

Mrs Fox, your right everyone is different and the meds are different or Atleast the doses are. I had xeloda and radiation for 40 days to start with. I didn't get sick mauve nauseous a few times. I continued to work I'm a receptionist. I would leave work at about 1:30 for my appointment and I went back to work for maybe the first 4 times, after that I couldn't go back after my appointment, I was to tired. Let me know what they decide to do I will help you the best I can. Hugs

Hi! I also have stage 4 that's gone into my liver, kidneys and lungs. I'm on my 7th treatment of chemo. I went for my 1/2 way PET and let me tell you how good God is. My kidneys and lungs are now clear. My liver, that was unmeasurable is now the size of a golf ball and the colon areas are also significantly reduced. The surgeon that said I was inoperable grinned so big when he saw the results. I will rescan in February and could actually be able to possibly have surgery.. I feel like the chemo is killing me but prayers are saving me. Interceding in prayer for others work, I am proof. God is real and doing miracles still!
I would enjoy talking with someone else in my shoes. This is harder than I thought. And I was expecting bad already. Praying for you all!!
