Prayers sent. I also was diagnosed with colon cancer in January 2015 and had surgery in Feb. They took out about 12 inches of my colon and now I got a 12 in scar. Thankfully it had not progressed to my lymphnodes so it was stage 2. I am slowly getting back to half a--ed. Tell him to take it easy and follow Dr's orders and everything should be okay. Missed the whole crappie season but thankfully the outlook is good for a long life. Don Jackson
