My husband was diagnosed with colorectal canceer in Dec. 2007
by: Sonia DJ on Thu, Jun 25 2009

He was 45 years old at the initial diagnosis. Went through chemo radiation and surgeon where he was fitted with a permanent colostomy He had a prolapse in June of 2008 and had surgery to correct that. He’s had daily pain for the past 8 months. He had a colonoscopy in Nov. 08 and they told him his colon was clean/clear from cancer. In Jan/09 they told him his tumor had returned and was in his stomach. He went through more chemo Just yesterday (June 24/09) they said the tumor had metatasized and they found spots on his lungs. They also say it appears the tumor may have come back to the original area. We’re now awaiting an MRI. We are at our wits end and he is at the point where he doesn’t want any more chemo because of the effects it’s had on him. We are seeking alternative treatments, but as we all know, that costs money. Please keep him in your prayers.
