Certainly recover...: But at this stage, we do not have the ability to cure the disease. With many of the modern therapies available, we are able to extend a good quality of life for a significant proportion of people with metastatic colon cancer.

Possible: If a met is localized to one or two areas in the liver, or other organ, and can be removed, there can be a cure. Chemotherapy is used after surgery in that case. In general we have advanced in our ability to control mets from colon cancer with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. It all depends on the details and the response to treatment.
