I have  stage III colon cancer and have had surgery. They did a CT scan and found nodules in my liver. Would you say with treatment my prognosis is good and if so what percentage would you think my chances are? Deciding whether to have treatment or not. I have no insurance and there is not much out there for colon cancer. Thank you
Hi and thanks for the query, I do understand how difficult you can feel at this point in time. I suggest to my patients, especially when there are nodules in the liver, to get a complete review of the liver function and structure. The opinion of a gastroenterologist/hepatologist is usually very helpful. It is not the right thing at this point to discontinue treatment for colon cancer. This could lead to relapse and facilitate spread to other areas. A complete review by your treating physician and the gastroenterologists' opinion, to me are very important. Thanks and kind regards as I wish you good health. Bain LE, MD.
