Is it really terminal even with treatment? |

My mother had stage three colorectal cancer. She was treated with surgery (a colostomy), chemo, and radiation. She's alive after nearly eleven years from the dx.
Ask your doctors every question you can think of. There is no such thing as a stupid question, and they will answer you with the respect you need and deserve. (It's my experience that most doctors are like that.)
Good luck to you, and I'll be thinking of you |

I'm very sorry to hear that but i really think it depends on the person and how well the chemo & any other treatment you might have works. Your doctor would have to know your prognosis so he/she would be the best person to talk to.
Good Luck~~~ |

The goal of treatment for stage III colon cancer is cure. So hopefully, you will live out a full and fulfilling life as if you never had cancer. However, a percentage of patients do relapse after treatment, and based on current knowledge and modern chemotherapy, about 75% of patients will be alive after 3 years. Good luck! |

It depends. Do your research, it really helps. My mom was diagnosed with what people in Chicago called terminal, the wouldn't even treat her. She did her research and found a place in new york. She's one of the few surviors of her type of cancer. 6 years a few months ago. Best of luck! |

You can live a very very long time. It depends allot on your frame of mind. Don't be a statistic, be a fighter and make every day count. Stay positive and don't listen to any negatives. Be happy and live your life. |

Only God knows that answer. You just got to pray and keep your faith in him. I promise you that he'll never let you down. I'm praying for you too. |

As a healthcare provider I can tell you that as a medical community we have probability and statistics to answer this question. Of course each individual person can be different. This is the question you should discuss with your provider. That person is aware of all aspects of your case. Frankly, this is a question best asked before the therapy not after. Nevertheless, ask. You should know this for your own sake. |
