Question on colon cancer?!
Question: A male friend of mine had surgery two weeks ago and they resectioned his colon. They removed a golf sized tumor and he has yet to have his first visit with the oncologist. His sugeon said cancer cells were found on the lympnodes around the cancer site and he will be getting chemo. Will he be alright and what is the probable outcome?

depends on the staging and how distant the cancer has metasticized.
My dad died 6 wks after being diagnosed with colon cancer..my sister was diagnosed teminal at age 44 in 4/04 and is still fighting on...
Treatment are long but they work if he does what the oncologist instruct him to do. I was on chemo for a year. I came off November 2007 an I am doing great.
