As you consider your treatment plan, think about:
- The stage and risk factors of your cancer.
- Where both the primary tumor in your colon or rectum and any spread beyond those sites (metastases) are located.
- Your overall health and what other medical problems you have.
- The recommendations of your treatment team.
- Getting a second opinion.
- Whether or not a clinical trial might be appropriate for you.
- Your personal goals for the future.
