WasJust diagnosed with stage IV colon Cancer that blocked my colon and metastasized in my liver with 8 small tumors. They are doing emergency surgery to remove the baseball tumor in my sigmoid colon so I can start to gain Weight again. I had no symptoms at 50 yrs besides weight loss and I Thought it was from working out. They want to start Chemo right away. I’m Scared to death. My dad died From complications at 84 with same cancer condition. But he was older and Weak.im finally happy again. Any other options? I hate Killing my body to kill cancer, I’m so angry. Bad divorce, lost my dad and then a 16 yr son. I truly think it grew out of stress and grief. But I’m looking for any other option. They say chemo is all that will save me. My life is finally so good again. And I get hit with this. Still going thru the motions. Thank you

I have stage 3B Colon/Rectal with 5 lymph nodes involved. Looking for any trials or immunotherapy trials so I don’t have to do any chemo or radiation. Why is everything standard of care? I don’t want to kill any healthy parts of my body.

What's ctDNA testing like for colorectal cancer patients?

I have colorectal cancer and I'm interested in treatments and clinical trials. I just read about some exciting developments that might help people like us. There's new testing called liquid biopsies (ctDNA tests) that can find cancer cells that regular scans might miss. The article also talks about promising new drugs in clinical trials that could be better than current treatments available in the next few years. I'd love to connect with others who are navigating similar situations and hear about your experiences. • Have any of you had ctDNA testing as part of your care? What was that experience like? • For those following clinical trials or new treatments, how do you stay informed about what's coming next?
