Stage 4 is never good but remember to factor in the good. Where liver mets

are operable the 5 year survival rates are a factor of ten-approx- than if for

non operable stage 4 and that is using old data from the days before we had

new chemo drugs such as avastin.Being operable normally means just a few

nodes in one lobe and no mets to other parts of the body. If you had to have

stage 4 you have it in the best possible survival location. Bottom line-stage 4

aint was it used to be-good luck

Hi Jeff:

Welcome to the group. I'm a newbie here too and have found that the

members are great!

I was originally diagnosed with Stage III (w/ 2 lymph nodes affected)

and had my colon resected in 6/04. I had six months of chemo after the

first surgery. Found liver mets 5/05; surgery done for liver mets 7/05

and no follow-up chemotherapy. Going for my CT scan on December 12th

and am hoping it comes back clean.

Good luck and I would like to know what alternative treatments you are

considering.

Sue
