He has so much to be healthy for, including walking his daughter down the aisle next year.

Sun, I am praying for your brother’s complete healing. One year ago I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. I had surgery and 6 months of chemotherapy, and now the cancer is gone. I am truly blessed to be a cancer survivor. I pray that your brother will be a cancer survivor too. God bless you and the rest of your family too for supporting your brother. Best wishes, Flying Eagle

Prayers for your brother-in-law. My brother was diagnosed with Stage 2 colon cancer last winter. He is currently involved in a clinical trial in which they give him the same type of chemo as Stage 3 and 4. The port makes things a lot easier to administer the chemo.

Prayers up.

Caveat: My ex-wife was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer over a year ago. She's still bitching and just as cranky and lying and alive as ever. Chemo for colon cancer patients brings back the dead. I still feel for her, and I pray she lives for her kids' sake. I only wish she would shut up for my sake.

In addition to prayer I would definitely recommend you investigating what is called heated chemotherapy (AKA intraperitoneal chemotherapy)as the only people who I know have gotten free of Stage 4 colon cancer have had this surgery. It is called the Mother Of All Surgeries (MOAS), but a radical approach is needed for someone with Stage 4 cancer. Also in tandem I would explore macrophage immunotherapy. Remember, as competent and caring as your cancer doctor is, if all you have is a hammer, everything becomes a nail. Get second opinions. Explore these other options. My girlfriend died without being offered these other options.
Below is about macrophage therapy:

Real Help for Cancer?
by Bill Sardi and Timothy Hubbell
Link: http://www.lewrockwell.com/sardi/sardi84.html
The weekly injection of just 100 billionths of a gram of a harmless glyco-protein (a naturally-produced molecule with a sugar component and a protein component) activates the human immune system and cures cancer for good, according to human studies among breast cancer and colon cancer patients, producing complete remissions lasting 4 and 7 years respectively. This glyco-protein cure is totally without side effect but currently goes unused by cancer doctors.
Normal Gc protein (also called vitamin D binding protein), an abundant glyco-protein found in human blood serum, becomes the molecular switch to activate macrophages when it is converted to its active form, called Gc macrophage activating factor (Gc-MAF). Gc protein is normally activated by conversion to Gc-MAF with the help of the B and T cells (bone marrow-made and thymus gland-made white blood cells). But, as researchers explain it themselves, cancer cells secrete an enzyme known as alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (also called Nagalase) that completely blocks conversion of Gc protein to Gc-MAF, preventing tumor-cell killing by the macrophages. This is the way cancer cells escape detection and destruction, by disengaging the human immune system. This also leaves cancer patients prone to infections and many then succumb to pneumonia or other infections.
The once-weekly injection of minute amounts of Gc-MAF, just 100 nanograms (billionths of a gram), activates macrophages and allows the immune system to pursue cancer cells with vigor, sufficient to produce total long-term cures in humans.
Nobuto Yamamoto, director of the Division of Cancer Immunology and Molecular Biology, Socrates Institute for Therapeutic Immunology, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, says this is “probably the most potent macrophage activating factor ever discovered.”
