It's not standard in the U.S to treat stage I colon cancer with chemotherapy. Surgery is usually done and if the surgical specimen is confirmed as stage I and all the tumor is removed then no chemotherapy.
Well,
It's important to meet with a doctor and ensure that cancers not spreading to liver and causing elevated SGOT & SGPT, especially if she hasn't had surgery.

Hope this helps.
