Hi,
You are not alone. I was just diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer on March 28 after surgery for an hysterectomy and removal of part of my intestine. A shock. not happy about it. this whole world of talking about various drugs and treatments. the prognosis. started chemo last week. not fun. pretty normal this week though, to my relief.
I wish all the best, I'm just starting this too. I have read there are some people out there that have been clear after treatment for a good length of time, so there's hope.
