A member asked:
What is the survivability rate of colon cancer is a 28 year old male very good or very bad and is blood in the stool always common or not?

You have a confusing: ..Mixture of questions. 1. Survival rate depends on the stage, the lower the better. 2. At 28, colon cancer is rare but possible. Younger patients handle treatment better but stage is more important for survival. 3. Blood in stool is neither common nor normal. Needs to be evaluated. Try asking one question at a time please.

Stage dependent!: Survivability is dependent on stage of a cancer i.E extent of cancer. If it is early cancer (stage 1 or 2) there is a high cure rate.But even late stage colon cancers can be cured with proper treatment. So you need to tell us some more about his stage and treatmentss being done.
