I read recently that the survival rate is 3%! My husband just died from the result of his chemotherapy treatment. His last scan report had shown no sign of cancer. Then he began to die, his body became more weak and started to have many complications throughout his body. I plan to start an advocate organization to warn cancer patients that you are more likely to die from the chemo treatment than from cancer! The hospital where he died, administered a lethal dosage of morphine to finally end his life. All of America needs to be aware of how hospitals are murdering people so that they may continue to make large amounts of monies.

Are Colon cancer survival statistics accurate?
Whether colon cancer statistics are accurate would depend on the statistics. Most of the statistics from organizations such as The American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association only include cancer patients who choose radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy treatments, but there are people who choose alternative treatments. No accurate statistics are available for alternative treatments, because they are generally considered ineffective by organizations that keep statistics.
