Some people however who are already in higher cancer stages may actually still have some reason to be hopeful. The right treatment is really the key to a good colon cancer prognosis. Colon cancer survival rates also vary depending on where the tumor is located. If the cancerous growth is located in the ascending colon, the 5 year survival rate is 63%, for the transverse colon it is 59% and for the descending colon it is 66%.

Then this march we found out her cancer had spread with metastasis to the lymph nodes near her aorta (inoperable.) She has now been on chemo since then and when she is all done she will have been on chemo with out a break for a year and a half. She had a follow up CT scan and found out miraculously that it was clean, no cancer at all in her chest. If the Lord can help my mom, the Lord can help your father.
