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.
