Sad news for such a bright young man (he's older than me but not by much).
The moral of the story is: get your colon checked if you are 50 or older or sooner if you you have a family history. There's a procedure you have to go through, but it's the only way so far to check for cancer. All doctors will tell you this.

Yep, but some get it much earlier than 50. I had two close friends get diagnosed with it at the ages of 29 and the other at 38.
Bobby and Raul, you are greatly missed. R.I.P. my brothers.

real sorry to hear that. Cancer in the liver is fatal. My father-in had colon cancer at 45. He had 4 good years afterward, but then it returned in his liver and he was dead at 51.

I heard a Doctor speaking on this the other day and he said if it hadn't spread through the entire liver they might be able to remove the cancer. The liver can rejuvenate itself, so hopefully they can get all of it. It never looks good, but there is always a fighting chance. Didn't Lance Armstrong have it in his liver way back when? |
