My 36 yr old h likely had colon cancer. He had a colonoscopy this morning and they found a mass that the Dr is fairly confident is cancer. He's getting a CT scan now and we should have the biopsy results by Friday. I'm a mess. The Dr said colon cancer is highly treatable and he will have surgery in the next few weeks to remove the mass. Said there will likely be some chemo and if the cancer is in his rectum there will be radiation as well. I'm a wreck and he is oddly calm. If you have some thoughts and prayers to spare I could certainly use them right now.
Anecdote - my husband's 50-something aunt was diagnosed with colon cancer, and she was successfully treated with surgery. She was diagnosed about 6 1/2 years ago, and has been cancer free since her surgery.
(I KNOW this is anecdotal but it might help. I know two women who have recently gone through this - one is 28 and the other is in her 60s. they both had surgery and successfully removed the cancer that way, avoiding chemo and radiation. It is highly treatable.)
Sorry to hear this. This happened to me 15 months ago when my DH was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. I'm happy to offer any support/advice I can on dealing with treatment side effects and what worked for us.
