    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 They are outdated.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.

    Absolutely put him on any prayer chain you can. Although he is struggling we fully believe in the power of prayer and God's compassion and love for his children. Many. many thanks. Rhea

    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.
