Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Colon cancer is a condition in which there is tumor in the large bowel for which you have got a surgery done. Studies show that half of patients with colon cancer might have spread of disease to the liver and unfortunately you have it. This situation might be managed with care and treatment provided with chemotherapy or TACE and the liver spread might be controlled.

Survival of patients in your situation is about 2 to 5 years if proper care is take. Some patients might respond well to treatment and survival is extended. Hope your disease is controlled early with chemotherapy. Please have a well balanced diet to keep yourself healthy. Please do not worry.
