New Here

My husband is 42 years old, no family history of cancer. He is however 100% Combat Service Conected Disabled Veteran. He has had several medical issues after being exposed to Sarin Gas in the 91 Gulf War. Anyway, on Mother's Day he went to our PCP for stomach pain, they did an abdominal CT, then called him back the next day for a Chest C/T then the next day for a Brain CT. By Wednesday we were in the Onocologist office schedualing a liver biopsy for Thursday. The Following Monday we saw the surgeon, who scedualed a colonoscopy for Tuesday and then back to the Onocologist on Wednesday. They told us the liver biopsy was negitive and to see the surgeon imeadiatly to get a colon resection to remove the tumor in the colon. So Thursday the surgeon schedualed surgery on Saturday morning. After the surgery the surgeon said he could visualize cancer on the liver an dhad taken two wedge biopsies to confirm. Tuesday afternoon while in the hospital Michael was moved to ICU for a Pulmonary Embolism from a DVT behind his knee. The following Friday he was released. The results from his biopsy came back positive so he has Stage 4 Colon Cancer. With a T3, L2, M1, as 10 of 10 lymph nodes were also positive. Tuesday he had his power port placed and Folfox chemo starts tomorrow morning. So I guess we are in the club, although I would have rather not do it again. I lost my Mother in 2002 from Stage 4 uterine cancer with mets to the liver.
