A member asked:
Is colon cancer stage 4 fatal? i have been denied surgery because my albumin is to low. i get really bad fevers at night but that's all.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is serious: Stage-4 cancer is an advanced stage of disease but not always fatal. Some pateints do survive this disease even in stage-4. But you need a good oncologist to treat you. I assume you have received some treatment with chemotherapy by now. Tell us more details about your chemotherapy. Take Tylenol(paracetamol) to control fever which can be caused by cancer especially if it has spread into your liver
