hard to know since you didnt mantuin esactly what kind and what stage of colony cancer. if they found it in early stage you can expect him healthy in short time.. first of all you can expect sassions of chemotherapy usually mitomycin C or other related kind , in less early stages also radiology, also alot of colonoscopy as a monitor .not much more then that... the good thing is that todays medicen knows how to treat this kind of cancer. Good luck if i can help let me know at dor_tal@hotmail.com

Most likely you will have to have a portion of your stomach removed. After that you will have to supplement your caloric intake for the rest of your life.

Surgery.... then chemo.

There is always the hope of healing, don't think that chemo or radiotherpy is the way to go, it can only bring you more body deterioration and the spread of the cancer. The way to go is detoxification of your body and feeding it with lots of nutrients that will help your body regenerate. Watch the following links and discover real cure for cancer. Raw living foods high in enzymes capable of rebuilding your organs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XChao-XxUJE&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpJeASKipr4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMdktdaReOw&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGJYQ5E5T7Y&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsfapVCJqVI&NR=1

Not sure what you are asking . . once the cancer is metastatic it hitches a ride in the blood stream and lymphatic system . . meaning it can go anywhere in the body and set up new cancer colonies everywhere. With colon cancer complete surgical removal of all visible disease along with chemotherapy to try and control the mets would be one goal. You might consider joining an online support group who might be able to steer you towards resources: ACOR: Colorectal Cancer Discussion List http://listserv.acor.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ACOR.EXE?A0=COLON Colon Cancer Alliance http://www.ccalliance.org/ ASCO: Colorectal Cancer http://www.cancer.net/patient/Cancer+Types/Colorectal+Cancer

Do you mean in the stomach lining or the lining of the colon? It's a big difference. If it's traveled to other organs, it's at stage 4, and the outlook is not very good. If it's in the lining of the colon, it's only stage 2, and the odds of survival are about 85%. If you are talking about it going into the stomach, they can give you medicines to try to prevent it from spreading even further, like cetuximab. If it's in the colon lining, you will have surgery to remove the tumor, then possibly have chemo (doctors are split on whether to do chemo at stage 2).

How can I raise colon cancer awareness

How can I raise colon cancer awareness?
Please go to www.myspace.com/dmsteach and sign my guestbook. I am a stage III colon cancer survivor, diagnosed at the age of 41. Please help this cause. We need to let the legislators and everyone else know that Colon Cancer is preventable to even people under 40 where more are getting diagnosed.

Word of mouth and how about putting up a information sheet up on the boards at your local library?, as this will be a great place for education on the subject. I have a brother in law dying from bowel cancer and where they operated on his bowel, well the scar turned cancerous, then it went to his spine, now its in his lungs and it looks like its making its way to his brain.
