A neighbor of mine is like 39 years old, and he has colon cancer....? |
When you have colon cancer, how great is the risk that you will live or die? ex. 70% die (just making up a number) His story his reallt sad. He has a wife and 2 babies in his house. The oldest baby is probably almost 3, and the smallest baby is probably almost 1. His wife is only 29, and she has no job. These people are the kindest people in the world. He has been in the hospital a week or so. He has already had the surgery (I think). Please pray for him and his family. I am really sorry to hear that - I am not religious, but my thoughts are with your friend. As for the survival rate, that pretty much depends on risk factors as well as the stage of the illness. I have included two websites that describe these conditions fairly well, look here behind: http://www.thehealthpages.com/articles/a... http://www.alternative-cancer-treatments... If you want more information or more "user firendly" details feel free to contact me, as I work for one of the best gastroenterologists in Austria and possibly Europe. We have a website in progress, you can have a look if you want: www.geocities.com/gaschelab Good luck xx First off, prayers will be there for him...and as for the cure rate for colon cancer, if found in the early stages, it is very curable. President Ronald Reagan had colon cancer, and he lived to be a ripe old age passing away from Alzheimer's. If you can look up info on the Internet, you can get statistic concerning the cure rate, I believe if found in the early stages it is approximately 80 to 90 % curable. You are a good person to care about there family, God will be with him and his family, keep the faith! Here's one answer: I had my first Colon Cancer at 41, losing half my colon. Then, I continued to work the next 10 years as a Firefighter/Paramedic (in a big city). There are of course, different types of Colon CA, and I wouldn't be so foolish as to tell you "Don't' worry"...I do not know his prognosis. I will tell your friend what I feel and believe for myself, although it seems to have irritated a few YA readers who misinterpreted my message. You tell your friend to put it in his mind that Cancer can *@^8 off and kiss his @^*. Help him to laugh and have some fun through his course of chemo, which he will likely do. You know what? I believe God wants him to have the attitude I described. Not for the "rudeness", but for the spirit of it. PS. Ten years later I have donated the remainder of my Colon to Cancer, just a few months ago. And you know, I am still doing great and Cancer can still kiss my............. I can help That is really terrible. really the only way to know prognosis is to accurately stage the cancer. that means you have to know if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. Has the cancer spread to the liver? Has the cancer spread to distant sites -"metastasized"? If there is no spread anywhere the prognosis is obviously better than if there is a lot of spread to the liver. so giving a number is not easily done unless these sorts of questions are answered.- the next step to getting this done is to get the pathology report. let me know if this helps. |
