    My husband was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer 12/2008 at the age of 48. He is still here. Multiple lesions found in the liver. He has come through 5 surgeries, almost non stop chemo, and had to face the fact he had to go on disability. So far, he has beaten the odds.

    There is a website, csn.cancer.org, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, which has a forum of folks who are fighting and beating cancer. They have a wealth of info there you will not find anywhere else.

    Do not believe survival rates you find on the internet. They are outdated.

    Remember, your brother is NOT a statistic.

    Prayers to your brother and your family.

    Angela-- you can private message me anytime.

    What keeps us going is hope. You have given me that so thank you so much. He was given 7 days to live 10 days ago and is in a very weakened state but still pushing ahead. We are not willing to give up. He only has 10 percent left in his liver so it is a challenge for his body to keep going.

    My beautiful brother passed away Wednesday February 15th at 7.30p.m 2 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. We are in shock but without prayers, friends and family this would feel impossible. To all who continue to pray I thank you sincerely. We have seen God's work in action many times during the last 2 weeks so I have no doubt my prayers are heard. I am with heavy heart right now With love to you all Rhea

    I had sent you the personal note before I read all the way through the postings. I am so sorry to hear about your brother and my thoughts goes to those of you who loves him.

    Cancer is like terrorists - we can not let them win!!! The loss of your brother makes me want to keep fighting for persons affected by this disease and their families and friends.
