    My husband was dx two months after his 50th B-day, stage 4 -liver mets. Tumor had to be
    there for at least 5 years. Totally blocked and Dr couldn't believe he was still going to the bathroom.

    Dx 6/9/06 at age 44 with Stage III, 2 nodes by EUS. Turned 45 following week. No family history of any cancer, but I guess it had to start somewhere. Also found a mass on pancreas during the CT scan, not a big issue...yet. Start FOLFOX next week. Had bleeding for 4 months before I insisted on another test other than the anuscope. My oncologist says the average age is 65. I guess I was an over-achiever for once. My siblings are on their way in to get a colonoscopy.
