I have two very dear friends whose husbands have been diagnosed with cancer. First with Prostate Cancer and it was found on both lobes. Yesterday he had a bone scan to see if it has spread. The other friends husband was just diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and in for a PET scan today. I am just not sure what to say to them or what I can do to help
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Treatment of both depends on stage and spread of cancer. Treatment of prostate cancer is mainly radiation therapy. Your colon cancer is in stage 4. So surgery may not helpful.  Still it depends on the distant spread and accessibility. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the main treatment of choice in stage 4 cancer. Prognosis remains poor. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
