I am a 33 Year old Female- I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer last month. The Oncologist is saying that IP Chemotherapy is the best option at this point. I’ve had the right half of my colon removed, (which included the baseball sized tumor) 18 lymph nodes (of which 8 were cancerous) my appendix and my omentum fat (both cancerous as well) and the surgeon spotted many cancerous nodules on the inside of my abdominal wall. I was trying to find information on how effective IP chemo is on Signet Ring Cell Mucinous Adenocarcinoma. Or at least research on IP chemo with colon cancer? Everything I’m finding is about IP chemo with ovarian cancer.
thanks!

As everybody knows, memorial day is coming up fast. Seven years ago my grandfather died of colon cancer on memorial day. My mom and my grandma say that he fought until the end, but I really want to know what he went through. The choices he had to make, and the outcome. Can you please tell me what chemotherapy feels like if you have colon cancer? Please I feel like I need to know.

my mother has colon cancer and was treated for five weeks with chemotherapy capsules. She finished her five week treatment and discovered that her cancer spread to her liver. She is off treatment for a month and will start her iv chemotherapy in a month. I heard that there is something called "Titano" en Mexico that allows her to have a spot for her injection to go in without them having to poke her and stuff. Any idea what it can be ? What is the best hospital we can attend in L.A that accept medical. Harbor UCLA is not working for us atm the app. dates are to far from each other i feel like we are letting time pass by (btw i have the iv question because my mom goes through pain everytime they inject her because they cant find her vains) thank you.

My father in his early 50′s got diagnosed with Colon cancer stage 3. Had surgery about 7 weeks ago. VERY little has spread past his colon wall to his lymph nodes (less than 3)

His chemo is about to start in 4 days through a PICC line. The medicine in the chemotherapy is Oxaliplatin, Leucovotin, 5-Fluorouracil insfusion.

He’ll be in chemo for 2 months, the radiation with chemo and then chemo… Is this kind of treatment good for this stage of colon cancer? More information on the drugs?? Could he possibly find another treatment? What is the best thing for him to do right now?

Firstly, whats the difference between CHEMOTHERAPY and RADIOTHERAPY?..

Secondly, for a 70 year old colon cancer sufferer who will be undergoing chemotherapy, what effects should we expect? Will her hair fall out? What about her skin? Anything else I should know?
