On May 24,2008, the day after I buried my father, I went to emergency room for stomache pains. My appendix had ruptered so they went in to remove them. While in there they found a tumor in my colon. When I woke from surgery I found out they had removed half my colon , some lymph nodes and had a spot on my liver. I am 43 years old in stage 4 colon cancer and scared to death. I get a pet scan next tuesday the 8th of july to see how it has progressed then we will discuss when I start chemo.
