Hello all. I'm new to the group. Yesterday we learned that my sister in law

has colon cancer, and she's only 42 years old.. I'm out to learn as much as

possible, so any help would be greatly appreciated.. her pathology report said

" invasive " .. When she had her colonoscopy done last week, they found 3 tumors

and removed them. Her doctor said now things will move fast. He said they will

schedule her for a fluroscopy to take another piece to biopsy then she'll go in

for surgery within the week..

I'd just like to know what her chances of survival are, considering her age,

and everything I've read it is rare for someone under 50 to be diagnosed with

colon cancer and when they are it is usually a fast growing type and likely

to spread..

Any help or info please send my way!

Thanks

I don't think she knows what stage she is in, if she does she isn't saying

anything to us. I know that it runs in the family, and I know that they found

and removed 3 tumors during her colonoscopy..

So what does it mean when the pathology report says " invasive " .. Does that

mean it has spread or that it is a type of tumor that has the tendency to

spread?

We should know more after her fluroscopy, that they were going to schedule..

But as fast as he wants things done, to me didn't sound to good..
