What is the life expectancy of Stage 4 colon cancer?
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon cancer in October of 2009. They told me my life expectancy was 8 months with no chemo - maybe 18 months with the chemo. Tell your brother not to believe any of it. I went from a CEA marker of 96.8 down to 8.8 in 4 months. It depends entirely on him and how much he wants his life back. Tell him to get a team of people around him - especially those who believe in the mind, body, spirit connection. Get a chiropractor, an energy healer, do the chemo, do your emotional work, get everyone you know and their mother to pray for him. Do it all, think up new stuff, and don't quit. I'm hoping to live a very long life - because I realized this was all my own doing and God would support me in reversing it if I wanted it badly enough. I do. Good luck. Barb 760-597-0825

Stages of Colon Cancer and Treatments?
When facing a diagnosis of colon cancer, it is natural to feel overwhelmed. There is a lot of medical jargon to learn and a number of treatment options to discuss. With treatment options, more is always better, though this will depend on the stage of the cancer and overall health of the individual. Regardless of the plan chosen, there are other important types of treatment that can increase the chance of survival and provide a healthy dose of optimism in an otherwise depressing process.What are the stages of cancer?Though they are subdivided further, cancer is divided into stages I-IV. A stage I cancer is has been detected early enough that it is typically limited to the inner wall of the colon. Some spread to the outer muscle may still be categorized as Stage I. Stage II cancers have spread to the outer wall of the colon. In stage IIC, cancer may have spread to nearby organs. Colon cancer spreading to nearby lymph nodes, or the tissues surrounding them, is indicative of stage III, and stage IV indicates a spread to lymph or other organs at some distance from the colon.Regular screening for high risk groups is critical in catching colon cancer early. Early detection means that surgery can be used to eliminate the cancer before it moves. After this occurs, chemotherapy and radiation become the primary options. People who have already reached stage IV are generally given a poor prognosis, and some will opt to save their family money by only utilizing palliative care.At What Stage is Alternative Treatment Most Helpful?No matter the prognosis, experts recommend that all cancer patients adopt a regular exercise program. The caveat is that exercise for cancer patients needs to be monitored by a physical fitness expert working in tandem with the oncological team. Safety is a key concern, especially following surgery, but exercise has been proven to aid in recovery and relieve the side effects of chemotherapy. It also decreases the possibility of recurrence. Quality of life is important during palliative care for colon cancer, and exercise can improve mobility and limit fatigue even with poor prognosis.

When someone is diagnosed with cancer of any type, the doctor usually provides a numerical stage number. Stage 1 is the least invasive type of cancer and is generally considered to be an early stage. Hence, stage 4 is just the opposite, normally describing cancers that are rather invasive or progressed. Therefore, stage 4 cancers are generally discussed in conjunction with anticipated life expectancy questions
