I was shocked to hear the news, Mark. My sister was also striken with colon cancer just about two years ago. It came as a total surprise and without warning. My sister spent a week in the hospital followed by six months of chemo.
It wasn't an easy thing to go through. I'm very happy to say she is a cancer survivor and doing fine now.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and Michelle, and your kids during this difficult time. Be strong and keep a very positive attitude to get you through it.
I'm also a cancer survivor and I credit early detection by my alert physician as saving my life. The sooner they find the problem, the sooner they can fix it. Give our best to Michelle during this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are certainly with both of you. My husband Darrell was diagnosed with colon cancer last February and spent a week in the hospital, followed by about 6 weeks recuperation here at home before starting chemo AND radiation, simultaneously. Radiation was six weeks, and chemo six months. A tiring and trying time for both of us.
Looking back, he did well, and I am really proud of him. He's regained his appetite and stamina - in fact, 10 days after his last chemo session, we hiked several miles on Isle Royale (Michigan) on a lighthouse trip with the US Lighthouse Society. We had planned the trip well before his diagnosis, and it was truly the carrot at the end of a long stick....he (we) were bound and determined to make it on the trip! I can't say it will be an easy path for EITHER of you, but as his oncologist said, if you're gotta get cancer, colorectal is one of the 'better' ones with a HIGH survivor rate. Anne Camp

I emailed Mark for an update today and got some upbeat news in return. Michelle came home this evening, She is doing quite well following the surgery which was one week ago today.
The doctors (3 of them) all believe the surgery went very well, they removed the section of colon with the tumor and were able to reconnect the two ends successfully. They removed 20 lymph nodes for biopsy and unfortunately 9 of them came back positive (the good news is that those 9 nodes are out), Had there been no positives she wouldn't have needed chemo, So she will need to have chemo, the doctor told us to wait 4 weeks to recuperate from the surgery before starting chemo.
She has an appointment with her Oncologist here locally next Wednesday and she will start making arrangements to go up to the University of Chicago for a second opinion and or treatment at the University. They have a very highly rated cancer center there.
As you may know, Michelle is a registered nurse so she is fairly knowledgeable about cancer and has been able to explain a lot to me about everything.
Michelle is very upbeat and positive that she will beat this, It is considered a highly treatable type of cancer, and we think it was caught pretty early, so we are hopeful and PRAYING that it can be stopped here and now.
Michelle and I greatly appreciate all the thoughts, well wishes, and prayers and other success stories. It is very comforting.
