Hi Everyone,
My father who is rather elderly at 86 has been diagnosed with colon cancer. He's one of these types of old school men who never would go to a doctor even when pushed to do so. Well, he has been suffering from diarrhea for about a month and finally had a colonoscopy. They found a 4.5 cm tumor, affected area, in his rectum. I don't know many of the technical details but it is considered "well differentiated" which I understand can be a good thing all else equal? He'll be going in for a CAT and ultrasound scan next week. Is there any advice, info, or hope anyone can give me as we proceed to these next steps? is there anything I should watch out for or pay attention to so as to ascertain how this might turn out? Thank you all.
Regards...
G
