We are just about to reach 5 years since my hubby was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. He has been through a lot in that time and today he went in for surgery to remove a drop met between the seminal vesicle and rectal wall. It was a spot that has been watched for the past year and biopsied twice with no luck of confirming cancer. It has been slowly growing over the 6 months so it was time to get it out to see exactly what it was. They were about 1 hour into surgery using a robot and found that he had around 20 tiny mets to the peritoneum. They decided to stop the surgery so they could re-evaluate what treatment plan would be best.
We have watched to liver for years so I had forgot about mets going to the peritoneum and now I am lost. One of the surgeons said that they could try the Sugarbaker surgery where they open him up and apply chemo directly to the area. Anyone out there who can give me some advice? I feel like we are starting all over and I that I don't know anything...
Thanks!
