What do you suggest if my mom diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and a colostomy bag was necessaryquestion about it?

What is question?: Stage 4 colon cancer means that the cancer has spread to distant sites. Chemotherapy is usually considered. I don't know what you question is but your mother should be under the care of a good medical oncologist. Stage 4 is very serious but not necessarily hopeless. Good luck!
