Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. Sorry to say but cancer is incurable disease. Till date no treatment is invented to cure cancer completely. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are available but they can not cure it. They can slow the progression and reduce the sufferings. Intestinal cancer in young age carries good prognosis. And if early surgery is done than life expectancy is less than 10-15 years. So stage 2 operated case (your case) is having good prognosis Five year survival rate is more than 80%.
