i was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in september 07. I have since gone through chemo and radiation treatment and had surgery on the 28th of february 08. I developed problems after the surgery and have not been able to work but three weeks since september 07. I am a military retiree and most of the hospital bills have been taken care of but money for everyday living expenses such as rent,utilities.groceries has also ran out. Due to being a military retiree I am not eligible for any government programs and i was just wondering if someone had any information on any other programs that i could check into. I am not asking for a handout as i fully intend on paying any money i might receive for assistance back in full. thank you for any assistance in this matter

I mean did they have like chemo or radiation and did it still come back or stay away.And does colorectal come back in the same place again?

Is there a doctor out there who could give me some information about colorectal cancer, or anyone who may have had it already? My 35 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with this, and the entire family is stunned. None of us can believe it. She begins her treatment on the 19th… chemo will be a constant infusion except on weekends, and the radiation will be 5 days a week. This will go on for 5 weeks in order to shrink the tumor, and then they will do surgery and remove it. She was told that her lymph nodes in her abdomen are enlarged too, so she will receive radiation to that area as well. She already can’t have kids, and has no children, so compromising her fertility is not an issue. We just are scared silly at this point, and I am searching for answers or for someone who has been through it to "shine a light" for me. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

MY FATHER HAS BEEN TREATED W/ CHEMO FOR ALMOST A YEAR. SPREAD TO LIVER AND LYMPH NODE. IT IS INOPERABLE THEY ARE STILL DOING CHEMO. THERE ARE ALOT OF OPTIONS
