[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I’m about to go through my dark time.  I have lived a pretty charmed life honestly (well, despite never having actually had an true career, but whatever), but after months of testing for general gastric problems that I tried to write off as stress and hormones and such for years, they just found a tumor in my colon.  I am terrified right now.  I’m only 41 and had no reason to be worried about cancer, especially not colon cancer.  Hoping for the best, but scared that my girls might lose me.  It hurts just to look at them right now - I just want to cry.  Please send me good thoughts that I will get through this and my girls won’t lose their mommy so young.[/quote]

My husband is a survivor.  3a, dignosed 36 y.o., and - like you - no previous family history.  I was 29w pregnant with our second.

She is now 4 y.o.  We just moved from semi-annual to annual CT scans.

The path forward exists.

If you can, do your radiation (if you need it) and surgery at a major academic center.  It is worth the hassle and the drive.  Generally, most colorectal cancers will get long chemotherapy regiments with older drugs.  Unless you have advanced staging or recurring disease, it can be done at the hospital near you.

You may get an ostomy (external poop pouch).  Please accept it now.  [/quote]
