    Hi, you found the cancer early it seems. I encourage you to go through the operation and the processes after the surgery. I am praying for you. Do not be afraid. Speak words of affirmation to yourself during this time. Be positive.

    Hi Christele,
    I am also new to the group and my boyfriend of 13 years had colon cancer with liver mets and in 13 of his lymph nodes. I just wanted to help you through this if I can. Tom (my boyfriend) and I went to the onc back in 2002 and he told us basically there was nothing he could do. We could not accept that answer so we got a second opinion. The new onc sent us to a surgeon at University of Chicago and he took out 3 feet of his colon and removed 3 lesions in the liver. Also did some chemo for a few months. He is doing wonderful. No evidence of anything since 2002. Please don't give up hope. One thing we have learned is you have to trust your onc doctor. If you don't, then get a second opinion. It saved Tom's life. Good luck to you,I will keep you in my prayers. If there's any other questions I can help you with, I am here.
