These events were not synchronous, separated by some few years. It is likely that the colon cancer will be the more serious of the two. It is nearly impossible that the prostate cancer has created the colon cancer. Prostate cancer occasionally invades the rectal wall but is still prostate cancer. Thoosier Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT
