My aunt has recently been diagnosed as having bowel cancer. They found a 2 inch tumor in the large intestine. A CT scan has since shown the cancer has just begun to spread to the liver. The liver has some spots on one side of it. The dr’s are going to treat it with chemotherapy. Does anyone know prognosis statistics for this type of cancer?

A family member has inoperable tumors and chemotherapy has not been working, so the doctor is stopping chemo and moving to "second-line therapy." Can anyone explain what this means (in laymen’s terms) and if it is an indicator of prognosis? The family member has small intestine, or small bowel, cancer, which, from a cursory search online, seems hard to find information on and even harder in plain English.

Not looking for hypertechnical resources, please.

Our friend recently diagnosed with bowel cancer and she start chemotherapy. It has been about 10 days and she is back home after 4days. Every time we ask her she said she is better than yesterday. we are very confused because we was expecting she will be in a big pain. Can someone explain what is going on? If you or someone you know have gone thorough this pleas. Just to make our self ready I thank you in advance.

My grandad had it and they removed it, he is going through chemotherapy and i was wondering what his chance of survival is?
He discovered it at stage 3 of cancer.

How long typically would a cancer patient have without chemotherapy to live once spread to the liver, after 6 months chemotherapy that wasn’t very effective.. is it worth trying to give another chemotherapy a chance when you have been told it will give you a little longer given the possible side effects?

Thank you
