My 32 YO son has been diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon cancer. Has anyone had experience with the Bio-Mat as a treatment, or in conjunction with another treatment?
I've seen comments of people working while going through Chemo. That's so encouraging that life can go on while being a patient. Was that a monumental effort?? Or was the treatment actually not as bad as many of us have heard? My son really needs encouragement, and I need understanding.

I had a right hemicolectomy and after surgery had 12 folfox chemos every 2 weeks. To facilitate the chemo I had a port placed in my upper chest area.This took me from January to June. I had some nausea after the fourth chemo but otherwise everything went well and remains well. It's all uphill after the shock of the diagnosis. I was diagnosed after an annual blood test indicated that I was slightly anemic. What a shock for someone who has run 4 marathons and always kept fit. All the best…just keep your nose to the grindstone…you will make it!! Regards.

Just an FYI if they havnt checked your son it may be something to look into.. I have returned back to work but live in fear daily especially now with Lynch… This site has good info on it.. Good luck to you and your son!! prayers always
