Depends on the person but colon cancer can metathesizes very quickly if not treated early in stages 1 and 2. Lost a loved one to it. Pray!

It depends where it is now and these days there is so much improvement in this field! I was diagnosed at 44 with Colon Cancer my doctor was wonderful from NY and was able to remove all of it with no Chemo. or anything!! I was very lucky. I follow up 4 times a year with the Oncologist and must have 2 scopes a year now! I will pray for your father and hope all works out! These days you can live a long time with Colon Cancer!! Your doctor should know what stage it is in now you need to talk to him/her!! God Bless I am so very sorry!! Carol :(

It depends on many factors: early diagnosis, depth of tumors, etc. A colonostomy bag will definitely be needed, along with surgery, chemo, nutrtion, and mental help. I say the latter because I've read numerous studies which say that people who get depressed and have "the world is against me" attitude tend not to survive for long. One must remain positive and active in their treatments. Survival rates for any cancer is higher with early diagnosis. Being diagnosed in stage 3 or 4 is not good.

New studies on the benefits of onion juice for eliminating cancer have just been concluded by researchers at Cornell University, confirming what we have been saying all along - onion juice will cure your cancer. What they are still not understanding is how the onions should be administered to effectuate the greatest benefits in eliminating your cancer.

Colon cancers typically do not spread very fast, certainly not in days. It may take years before a patient has symptoms. This is why a screening colonoscopy is recommended every 4-5 years. We donĂ¢€™t really know how long it takes to move from one stage to another as when it is found we donĂ¢€™t leave it there to find out. Rarely are advanced colon cancers found it patients who have regular screenings. Colon cancer usually begins in a polyp. There are two kinds of polyps, one kind of looks like a golf ball on a tee. It is removed at the base of the tee and most of the time the cancer is contained it the part that was removed. If this is the case the patient does not require any other treatment. No surgery, no chemo, nothing. The other type of polyp is called a sessile polyp. These polyps are flat on a broad base and cannot be removed during a colonoscopy. They are usually biopsied and tattooed so that they may be surgically removed later. Best of luck to you both.
