It is normal to be afraid, cancer is scarey. My husband is stage 3 and we opted no chemo. We prayed for wisdom and are doing natural things. I would suggest you search the web for stage IV colon cancer survivors and read the positive cases - there are a lot of them living a long time. Remember stats are averages, he can live a long life. Do not give up, be positive and do not let fear rob you of today. Today is a gift, enjoy it. Take one day at a time and enjoy it to the fullest. And talk to long term survivors that can give you hope. It is there. I will be praying for you. Janet
