I have stage 3b colorectal cancer. I have 2 more chemos left then a mri to see whats going on with my tumor. Probably surgery between September- November. Not sure if I’m going to need radiation yet.

The time between completing chemo and surgery can feel uncertain, but it sounds like your medical team has a clear plan in place with the MRI to assess your progress before determining the next steps. Many people in this community have walked a similar path and understand the mix of anticipation and questions that come with waiting for imaging results and scheduling surgery. Consider connecting with others here who may have experience with the treatment timeline you're facing - their insights about what helped them during this phase could be valuable.

I need to get more information on the person that I'm currently helping. Basically I am his only caregiver at this time.

I’m a person with actual stage four colon cancer and I’ve survived 11 years so far. I’m serious if you really need to discuss this with somebody I’m your guy and I would even give you my phone number. I just got some really bad news just this week and I’m trying to deal with it. My name is Glenn if it doesn’t say, I think I could help you.

All of you God Bless 🙏 I know that some think it a feckless gesture, but I got a peek through the veil while in my coma before surgery for colon cancer that almost did me in last February. Have faith and prepare with insurance, life and burial. Save the ones you 💖! Everything else is pointless and find peace in knowing things will be ok when we are all called to the other side. Meet you there one day, with ❤️❤️❤️

Susan, Good afternoon. I'm a CRC survivor having had surgery and 6mo of chemo. I'm healed so far and have had no indication of metastasis. Hang in there.
