Dereks Fight Against Cancer

On Monday April 25 2016 my family's world changed for the worst. My significant other, at the young age of 31 was admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery. Two weeks prior he was feeling ill with stomach pains, little to no bowel movements and had no appetite. It worsened within the next couple days and on Monday April 25 Derek knew something wasn't right within his body. Derek had an ultrasound, x-Ray and a Cat scan. In which the doctor had found an obstructed bowel, which turned out to be a 3cm by 3cm tumour in his large bowel. The doctor also found masses on his liver which was caused from the tumour spreading. He was then admitted for emergency surgery that would take 3 hours. The tumour was then safely removed, he then spent 6 days in the hospital with 24 hour watch. The results then came back a week and a half later positive for adenocarcinoma colon cancer, which is the most common kind. We're now waiting for him to start his treatments within the next two weeks.  After Derek is done treatment, they then will worry about the liver. Come that time the doctor has said Derek will go for 2 more surgeries. The first will remove half of his liver, once it has grown back they will go back in and remove the other half. We've also discussed a possible liver transplant. Depending on the severity of his liver, after treatment.    With all of this Derek is unable to work, and we don't know when or if he can return to work. This is going to be a very long road we are about to go down and so much uncertainty.
