Colorectal cancer stage 3c: Need positive feedback

Went thru stage 4 colon cancer then 2 years after the resection a tumor showed up in my liver. They removed half of my liver. Went thru chemo both times. That was over 20 years ago. Checkup every year since then, so far so good.
Hang in there. Treatment has much improved since then and I have to believe there is something that will keep you in remission for good.

Hello @eddiebu and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for joining this discussion to share your experience and hope with other members who are not on the other side like you have been for 20 years. That is incredible.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 Colon Cancer and metastasis in the liver. In Jan. 2019. Had a Colon resection and liver resection and part of my Pancreas removed. On March 1st 2019. Recovered well and had Chemo starting in June bi weekly for 4 month. Had terrible side effects after 4 months and hospitalized for 4 weeks. Recovered well after that. Now almost 2 years after surgery I am doing well and live a happy independent life. I still have check-ups every 6 months. I am now 82 years old.
