My dad had surgery for colon cancer yesterday?
The doctor said they're taking it in for testing to see if it has reached stage 3 or not and if it had he would need chemo......do you think if there was a possibility it has reached stage 4 (which I hear is the worse) he would have said so?? or will he not know anything before the lab results are in??
he's already had a catscan would that have detected if it was stage 4??
