Colorectal Cancer

[Diana&Jack]

My fiance had just learned he has stage 4 colon cancer. He had a milignant tumor the size of a baseball removed from his colon. The doctor cut away 14 inches of his colon also. We were told that he had several spots front and back on his liver too. The doctor told us his life expectancey was not good. It has been three weeks now since his surgury to remove the tumor. His daughter wants to take him for a second opinion to Zion Cancer center. He has an appt. this Mon. It is a good 3-4 hour drive.
Can anyone tell me what we will be faced with, stage 4? I'd rather be prepared then be in the dark.
I don't know who to talk to. I know he will be receiving chemo at Zion, but think he will get the remaining of his teatments here at home in Illinois. Right now he looks good, but gets very tired easily. He's been sitting about the house, watching tv, and reading. I have been trying to get him out walking, and moving. Please give me adivse, or some idea of whats ahead.
