    As other peole pointed out, "colon" cancer is a cancer specific of the large intestin, whereas "intestinal" cancer could affect any part of the intestine (including the small intestine, i.e. duodenum, ileum and jujenum).

    If colon cancer runs in your family, you are likely to have FAP, or Familial adenomatous polyposis, an inherited colorectal cancer syndrome. People with the classic type of familial adenomatous polyposis may begin to develop multiple noncancerous (benign) polyps (growths) in the colon as early as their teenage years.
    This cancer usually develops in the lower part of the digestive system, including the large intestine (colon) and rectum. However, the FAP syndrome could present a risk factor for the cancer of the small intestine (what your relative might have), therefore this person could also carry the genetic mutation that confers cancer predisposition (the APC gene, in the case of FAP).

    This is a very diffucult situation, and hope the very best for all of you.

    I hate diagnosing cancer like this. It's always hard, and your comments are not unlike virtually each and every case I've ever heard from patients and their family. Everyone wants to try everything and anything possible. But most don't know which way to turn, and what to do. Along the trail, your likely internet research will reveal a host of "potential cures," and "treatments" that target cancer. A lot of this will be overseas, and out of reach in many ways. Yet, many of the "cures" are also completely unsupportable and hold no merit. They are poorly conducted, and the average person (layman/woman) doesn't know any better. It will give you hope, but inevitably, and letdown.

    You brother-in-law's cancer is a bad one, and I know you understand this. The likelihood he survives it will be a true miracle, and only time will tell.

    My suggestion would be to get him to a cancer institute (like MD Anderson in Houston, TX, or the like) and let them take a look at things. These places are on the cutting edge of treatment and research, and are often able to use some newer medications that are still in the study phase. Treatments he could not find anywhere else through most basic oncologists where he currently lives.

    For his liver metastasis, I would CERTAINLY recommend liver radioablation therapy. I've seen this work for several people — quite well, but not all.

    In the meantime, I would suggest that he eat as healthy as possible — avoiding too many processed foods. Stick to organic fruits and veggies, and very lean meats like fish, poultry, etc.

    Don't run out and but a bunch of unresearched herbs either. Wait on that.

    Consult with the doctor on everything. Let them guide you through this time. They have the knowledge and the insight.

    My very best and humble support to you all. God bless.

    “health”? is it a well known self-treatment to shove some implement up your arse to spray it on polyps that you can’t see? Or do you ingest it?! Besides, mucin in the mucous (which will be produced at increased rate due to the cancer) is an amazing buffer, and there is frequently a fibrin sheath to contend with too. So you’re going to have to use something a lot lot stronger than baking soda to get through. Anything capable of penetrating that barrier would lay waste to the rest of your GI tract

    As colon cancer progresses from Stage 0 to Stage IV, the cancer cells grow through the layers of the colon wall and spread to lymph nodes and other organs.

    Stage 0 (Carcinoma in Situ)
    In stage 0, abnormal cells are found in the innermost lining of the colon. These abnormal cells may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue. Stage 0 is also called carcinoma in situ.
    Stage I
    In stage I, cancer has formed and spread beyond the innermost tissue layer of the colon wall to the middle layers. Stage I colon cancer is sometimes called Dukes A colon cancer.
    Stage II
    Stage II colon cancer is divided into stage IIA and stage IIB.
    Stage IIA: Cancer has spread beyond the middle tissue layers of the colon wall or has spread to nearby tissues around the colon or rectum.
    Stage IIB: Cancer has spread beyond the colon wall into nearby organs and/or through the peritoneum.
    Stage II colon cancer is sometimes called Dukes B colon cancer.

    Stage III
    Stage III colon cancer is divided into stage IIIA, stage IIIB, and stage IIIC.

    Stage IIIA: Cancer has spread from the innermost tissue layer of the colon wall to the middle layers and has spread to as many as 3 lymph nodes.
    Stage IIIB: Cancer has spread to as many as 3 nearby lymph nodes and has spread:
    beyond the middle tissue layers of the colon wall; or to nearby tissues around the colon or rectum; or
    beyond the colon wall into nearby organs and/or through the peritoneum.
    Stage IIIC: Cancer has spread to 4 or more nearby lymph nodes and has spread:
    to or beyond the middle tissue layers of the colon wall; or to nearby tissues around the colon or rectum; or to nearby organs and/or through the peritoneum.
    Stage III colon cancer is sometimes called Dukes C colon cancer.

    Stage IV
    In stage IV, cancer may have spread to nearby lymph nodes and has spread to other parts of the body, such as the liver or lungs. Stage IV colon cancer is sometimes called Dukes D colon cancer.
