Colon Cancer Stage 3

Hi there,
My name is Julie. My mom has been diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer. She is 55 yrs old and has a brother who died 4 yrs ago from colon cancer. Five years ago her colonscopy was clear but the last one she went for wasn't. Its been a rough three weeks waiting for all the first doctor's appt's. We met with the surgeon and the oncologist. Friday March 26th is her CT scan & liver scan. She'll be having an MRI done within 2 weeks. So far the plan seems to be wait for all the results of the many tests then probably a combination of radiation & chemo first to shrink the tumor then surgery, & chemo agian. Has anyone done this? Or know someone who has?

It's nice to know we're not alone. Please feel free to tell me your story. I'm looking forward to talking to people who have been diagnosed in Stage 3.

Good luck to all,
Julie
