A male friend of mine had surgery two weeks ago and they resectioned his colon. They removed a golf sized tumor and he has yet to have his first visit with the oncologist. His sugeon said cancer cells were found on the lympnodes around the cancer site and he will be getting chemo. Will he be alright and what is the probable outcome?
