Hi,
I saw this forum from hours of research about this disease. My brother was diagnosed with Sigmoid Adenocarcinoma Stage II A T3N0MO. He is back in my home country (Philippines) and I am here in the US worrying and sending money to help the family. We are devastated at first because this is "C" we are talking about and its the first time our family experienced it. The fact that the day we got the result of his colonoscopy was the day my father got discharged from the hospital after a successful operation on his brain due to a blood clot. So yeah, it is overwhelming but we hold to our faith and is getting strength from each other except for my parents whom we haven't told yet the diagnosis.
He will be out of the hospital tomorrow and will be back on Friday for discussion with his doctor about the future treatments if any. The final pathology report is still not available hopefully we can get it today. We are hoping that he will not get a chemo.
I have a lot of questions in my mind but some of it has already been answered in some of the forums here.
I'm praying for all the families here that is going through on the same journey as we are that God will give us strength and courage to overcome this battle.
