Welcome, @elomda19. It may not seem like it right now, but it is helpful that your mom's cancer team knows that her cancer is a specific type - mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon (MAC). This may help determine treatment protocols that are more effective, although mostly the treatment approaches are similar to colorectal cancer. You can read more in this article:

I'm tagging @mistyl and @karen43, who also have mucinous adenocarcinoma albeit of the lung. They may be able to offer some tips and insights, as well as support.

Has your mom's cancer team suggested a treatment plan post surgery?
