my son was just diagnosed with colon cancer which has spread into his liver he has 3 lesions in the liver one of which is 6 centementers large.  the mass in the color in causing a blockage only allowing liquids to pass.  He went to the local emergency room, was admitted to the icu, given 4 units of blood (his gamaglobin was 3.5) and they scheduledsurgery to do a colostomy  in 3 days which he refused since the bioupsy results werent even back yet. now we dontknow where he should go or what the next step should be.  Does he need immediate surgery or just an oncologist visit. He is home now and scared as we all are that the backup mighty rupture.
Hi, sorry to now the diagnosis. The biopsy results will be available soon as it takes a few days for this test. I wonder why the patient is at home. He must be in a hospital under constant supervision. Colostomy may be required to remove the blockage, cleansing of bowel and as a preliminary step for a major surgery if needed. Your Oncosurgeon will be in a better position to guide you and have a session of discussion as per the reports. #3 lesions in the liver may need CT Scan and/ or biopsy (Fine needle Aspiration Cytology).
