Does colon cancer stage I (maybe IIA) need chemo?!


Question: Does colon cancer stage I (maybe IIA) need chemo!?
Searched over the internet, there is not too much discussion about stage I!.

Some of my friends strongly recommanded me to have chemo no matter how early it is!. But my doctor told me there is no need of the chemo!.

Another reason bothering me is that one of the doctors told me my case should be in stage IIA!.

Anybody can tell me some thing more!? The feedback is greatly appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can check with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network which provides the standard professional protocol guidelines for various types of cancers including Colon Cancer:

I think you need a second or even third opinion to verify the status of the disease!. Please understand too that there are different types of colon cancer !. !. if you have a cancer that is considered very aggressive than the doctors would generally encourage chemotherapy !. !. but if the disease was small, localized and easily managed than they might not!. It really depends on the individual case!. Anyway look over the standard recommendations !. !. and remember that circumstances with cancer are continually changing !. !. what might be true for you today might not be right next week!. I have known one case of a young man who had a small tumor removed near his colon !. !. and it was an aggressive tumor !. !. stage 1 but the grade of the tumor was high!. Chemo was recommended and he declined thinking that surgery would be enough!. He relapsed as a stage IV nearly six months later!. So !. !. get a second opinion or even a third !. !. you need to feel totally at ease with the situation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
