I have recently discovered my mothers stage 3 rectal cancer was a high-grade cancer. She is currently cancer free. This obviously means it was agressive. I know she can still survive this but I guess I'm looking for a little more comfort. She is 56 years old and had one node involved.

Hi Julie,
I had the same diagnosis as your mom. It is natural to feel frightened by the diagnosis and the statistics. I try to focus on "feeding the faith, starving the doubt". It sounds like her treatment was successful. Try to focus on survival and celebration.
