My 25 yr old nephew has been diagnosed with advanced colon cancer. He is the son of my DB who spent 18 mos. in intensive care from a ruptured colon. The survival rate past 5 years is good. I'm waiting to learn the treatment details.

Whoever expects someone that young to have such a serious disease?

I can't help but think the stress of his DFs long illness may have played a part. The kid was at his bedside day & night. My DB has decided to remain in FL to prepare a home for his DS while he is in treatment. Sure put things into perspective for me.

I had my last exam at 65 and the MD signed the report with "see you in 10 years". All was well.
