Answer
I'm sorry to read about what happened to your wife! But I have to tell you about a couple of facts about this site. I do this in my spare time free of charge. Even though I'm now retired my spare time is not unlimited. Nor am I a message board. I can not see your e-mail address here! I have litteraly thousands of answered questions here on my sites. For me to be able to try to help you I need 1. your e-mail address, I also need 2. to know on which of my pages this question was (probably the colon cancer page but that is not certain). I also need 3.the exact date when this question you mention was posted to me and when 4. I answered, since I have not the time to go through a multitude of questions hunting for this particular one. Please observe that I have no access to their e-mail address either! So all I can do if/when I find it after you have given me all this information is to send them an extra reply with your request and e-mail address hoping that they will respond and that they have not changed e-mail address.
That is unfortunately all! I do hope your wife's treatment will go well!
