You should begin by asking your doctor. He or she likely will have some thoughts about the best way for you to proceed. Most offices also will print out a resource list for you. +++ HERE +++ is a good start from the National Institute Of Health (NIH) website. +++ List of Studies & Clinical Trials +++

Hi Cecil,
I'm really, really sorry to hear that you've had colon cancer. I hope things are settling down for you as smoothly as they possibly can.
Just on two years ago, I had my prostate removed because it had advanced cancer. At the time, I was advised to go onto hormone therapy as well as radiation therapy. While I didn't need radiation therapy in the end, along with chemotherapy, radiation therapy seems to be one approach that is commonly used for most cancers. This would be worth discussing with your doctor.
In case this is useful information, my urologist did not begin my after-cancer treatment for a couple of months following the operation. He gave my body a chance to recuperate a bit first. This is also something that you should talk to you medical professional about.
Hang in there. I wish you all the very best with your healing.

Cecil, I would have thought that it was near impossible these days to have had surgery for colon cancer without a team of physicians (including an oncologist, surgeon, and gastroenterologist) debating a treatment plan before surgery was ever undertaken. No one discussed options before now?

Where is the closest research hospital in your area?
I live within 50 miles of the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals (Cleveland) and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Doctors within 20 miles of my home are not great but those hospitals are.
In a research hospital you will find the latest techniques and clinical trials.

Off topic, sort of: year or so ago a friend of mine broke her back will living in the Chinese countryside - not exactly the place I would want to have a serious operation at but she could not be moved. When she met her surgeon he had just finished a rotation at the Cleveland Clinic for the type of operation she needed to be able to walk again.
God bless!

No one discussed options before now? I agree with Keith. However 13 years ago I had a stage 3 colon cancer section removed. Because I was in good shape physically I started chemotherapy a week after surgery. I had 8 weeks of 100% chemo followed by 8 more weeks at 80%; note that they will give you as much chemo as you can take without major side affects. I am still cancer free. Get yourself to an oncologist ASAP.

My Dad went through that same thing about the time you did. He's good too luckily. Ever since then I make sure to get screened every few years as it's likely to be inherited.

I can't help with that, but check with Life Extensions lef.org and they might be able to help with supplements to take to help the therapy your oncologist and medical team do.
Good luck. I hope you heal quickly and completely.

Cecil,
Like others the only advice I would have given was the obvious i.e. find a good oncologist and medical team, hopefully you are already there. Also redundant but you have my strongest wishes and prayers for a positive outcome.

Well first off prayers/healing energy to you.
The obvious has been said about getting a medical team. Do not overlook "alternative" therapies to complement the traditional medical.

When I was on chemo I was super tired all of the time. The only thing that helped me was protein shakes. These shakes gave me enough energy to make through the day. YMMV
