I have colorectal cancer in my liver: What are my chances of recovery?

I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer with "innumerable" mets to the liver (in both lobes, inoperable) in July of 2022. 30+ rounds of chemo later and one surgery to remove part of my colon and I'm still here. I have a wonderful life. Painful and tiring much of the time? Yes. But still wonderful. Educate yourself, pursue physical and mental healing, and do what you can to change your odds.of survival. They are still crappy odds, but not impossible.

Hello @bigskysue,

You have shared a very positive and encouraging story about your journey with cancer. I especially like, "Educate yourself, pursue physical and mental healing, and do what you can to change your odds of survival." It is important to be our patient advocate when we are dealing with cancer. Education (learning about cancer), and pursuing healing on all levels, are great.

How are you feeling? What symptoms are the most troublesome for you?

Hi Hopeful,

30 months is very encouraging!!! Mine has resurfaced in my vaginal cuff and pelvic lymph nodes, also inoperable. May I ask if yours was right side or left side colon cancer? My doctor seems determined for me to live but did not look hopeful when I asked about getting to see my son graduate college in 4 years. It is my hope and prayers to get there. What have you been doing to buy you more time? I would love to increase my chances. Thank you for your encouragement!
