it is sobering...the whole situation is. his mother passed away from colon cancer, so every six months he was having tests run--and still developed the disease-stage three i believe when they found it and removed his colon. and i understand that generally when you have colon cancer, the liver IS next-but his cancer has spread to other places as well, but they haven't yet said where. it is attacked to, but not inside his liver-whether that is better or worse, or has no bearing i don't know.
i know he is in the right frame of mind, wants to attack it as aggressively as possible. i also know that from what i've read, no one is suggesting that this is a death sentence, and all i've seen has said he can live for years with what he has-much like mrs edwards, her cancer is no longer curable but is treatable. i haven't seen yet that tony snows is incurable-everything i've seen to this point seems very optimistic.
what scares me is that he was on the offensive about the disease, developed it anyway-had his entire colon removed and six months chemo-and that wasn't that long ago...and he's had it recur and spread with all that aggressive treatment. very scary!
