Hi. My mom has been detected with colon cancer. She has just undergo an operation to remove the tumor from her intestines. Doctor said that her case is a duke 'c', eventhough it has not spread to her lymp nodes however, doctor said that the fact it has been spread from her big intestines to her small intestines. However, now me and my family is at a dilemma of whether to let my mom to take chemotherapy or alternatives medication. This is because, from what we know chemotherapy will make the patient very weak and prone to infections and disease. However, the doctor said that chemotherapy for colon cancer is the mildest of all. Is that true? Anyone has any input on what kind of therapy to go for or real life account?
Thanks.
