    Snoozy, The cancer had spread to his glandular system. I may not remember the stages right.

    Hope all goes well. My best to you and your family,

    Hi again Golden Girl,

    You mentioned that hubby has Stage 4. This is what I remember from when I was getting all the info I could. By the way mine was Stage 3 colorectal cancer.

    Stage 1: the cancerous cells are confined to the polyp or original site

    Stage 2: the cancer has spread to surrounding tissue

    Stage 3: the cancer has entered the lymph system

    Stage 4: the cancer has metasized (set up other sites) and there's more than one tumor present.

    But your doctor will explain it far better than us here. Plus whatever treatments, etc. that are recommended.

    All the best,

    Pat
