Would you please all send some good thoughts the way of my BIL for his surgery. He should be going under the knife right about now. A week and a half or so ago, he was diagnosed with colon cancer that has involvement in his liver. They will go in today and take out the colon mass and take a look at the liver and surrounding areas to see if anything else is involved. Hoping that only one lobe of the liver is affected! Got my fingers crossed!

Spoke sending prayers your BIL's way.
It's amazing, now that I had my colon cancer surgery, how many people are "touched" by this cancer. We all hear alot about breast cancer - but tend to ignore colon cancer.
A young man I got to know after my cancer was diagnosed, also had liver involved colon cancer. He went through a year of chemo and then surgery and he just let us all know it appears he is clean. Praise God and all the prayers sent his way.
Trust in the doctors, trust in Him. Be there for your BIL and his family. They will need your comfort and support.BCIpam - Nature Girl

Many many flying swirling healing butterflies headed your BIL's way, and, yes, they know to not get in the way of the surgeons!
Hugs and butterflies,

Well, it was not good news. They took the mass out on BIL's colon, but found that 3/4 of the liver was involved, that the bowel was ruptured, and there was involvement in the pancreas as well. Talked to my parents late last night after the surgery and my sister this morning. She is SOooo sad. So am I.
Now, I guess, it is chemo and radiation to try to prolong life. I guess that is what he will want to do? Who knows.
Life sometimes is not fair.
I want for a 5 hour ride today up on the mountain with some girlfriends so that helped me feel a little better.
Thank you all for your good thoughts and concerns.

Oh, Jan, I am sorry. My family has lots of experience with colon cancer. All of my best wishes are going out to you guys.
