My BIL was diagnosed with colon cancer in his early 30s, that was 9 years ago. He had a resection and brief course of chemo and is checked regularly, he is doing FINE. Hang in there, I'm confident your husband will have a good outcome too.
Oh, my goodness, Miss Phryne Fisher. I'm glad you're on the mend, and feeling better!
Thanks! It really has been a night and day difference.
Aside: We are having a second opinion at Roswell in Buffalo and are taking a weekend in NF. We got married at the third hotel from the left (the Konica Minolta) in your sig, so I always love when you post!
I'm sorry to hear this. I'm a lurker, but I have been through this with my husband. He had a large mass, diagnosis was Stage III. Surgery removed about 8 inches of colon and some lymph nodes. He did 6 months of chemo. The chemo was not too awful, but of course not easy. As of this month he is almost 9 years No Evidence of Disease. Breathe, listen to the doctors, and take it one day at a time. Colon cancer is one of the most treatable cancers. I'll be keeping both of you in my thoughts.
