Colon cancer is usually (not always) slow growing. My husband was diagnosed at stage 3 and the doctor estimates the tumour was growing 5-10 years to get to that stage. But the treatment is always easier if done early. So a person diagnosed with stage 1 should have the treatment (usually only surgery at stage 1), and has a very very good chance of a long, normal life. Unless the doctor has indicated otherwise, a delay of a few weeks over Christmas, or while the person considers treatment choices will NOT be a problem. Sometimes its best to take a few weeks to consider the news before launching into treatment. Good luck!
