My Son In Law has just been diagnosed with and had surgery for Stage 2b
colon cancer. They removed 36" of his colon and resected. He is only 37 and we had no idea he had anything like this. It has been a rough time.
He is comng home from the hospital tomorrow and starts chemo in 5 weeks. Has to recover from the surgery first. Our doc is very well known in this area and is big on an organic diet and maganese juice and emergen-C.
Is anyone else doing this stuff and can anyone give us advice on how to help him in any way?
He will be here soon, since the doc also has told him he needs a support forum. Thanks.

Nellw, I do not know that much about colon cancer and cannot give you the advice you are asking for. I just wanted to write to you and let you know that I am thinking about and praying for you and your SIL.
