It depends on the stage of the disease. It is not just like fever or cold it is termed cancer. You should understand what is bowl cancer and the treatments mean for this disease. Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or bowel cancer, includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix. It is the third most common form of cancer and the second leading cause of death among cancers in the Western world. Many colorectal cancers are thought to arise from adenomatous polyps in the colon. These mushroom-like growths are usually benign, but some may develop into cancer over time. The majority of the time, the diagnosis of localized colon cancer is through colonoscopy. Therapy is usually through surgery, which in many cases is followed by chemotherapy. The usual treatments are Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Some times depending upon the severity of the disease and due to side effect of radiation etc. another surgery called COLOSTOMY may be done by doctors. You will be able to see your self the effect/working of chemotherapy Chemical medicine given with IV fluids in about 15 days of giving first cycle by all the hair of the patient falling and becoming bald.

Different chemo drugs and stages of cancer would determine how long. The doctor tells you when you will have follow-up tests/labwork. Anyone on the computer would just be guessing because we don't know the specifics!

I haven't come across pomegranate juice in my research, but the pips in pomegranates could contain B17, which, would help tremendously. Please spend some time studying this site to answer lots of questions, This is an article worth reading for anyone who needs to be disabused of the belief that the orthodox cancer treatments with toxic chemo-"therapy" actually work. Since when is the destruction of one's immune system with toxic chemo and radiation therapeutic? And how does cutting out a part of the body solve a 'whole-body' problem? Something to ponder while reading the article. The 5-year survival figures, (for orthodox treatment), not to be confused with the successful treatment of the disease, for the major cancers are: stomach - 5 percent trachea, bronchus and lung -5 percent breast -50 percent oesophagus -5 percent large intestine - 22 percent pancreas - 4 percent liver - 2 percent According to the government's own figures, around 2 percent of chemotherapy recipients are still alive after 5 years: the term 'alive' is used, here, in its literal sense: i.e. not yet clinically dead. 'Chemotherapy and radiotherapy will make the ancient method of drilling holes in a patient's head, to permit the escape of demons, look relatively advanced...the use of cobalt...effectively closes the door on cure.'17 The five year survival rates for the different onslaughts are: 11 Surgery - 22 percent Radiotherapy -12 percent Surgery/radiotherapy combined - 6 percent Chemotherapy plus others - 2.5 percent Chemotherapy alone - 1.6 percent .none of which has stopped the cancer industry from carrying out the same procedures, day in, day out, for decades: with the same deadly, inevitable results. 'It is utter nonsense to claim that catching cancer symptoms early enough will increase the patient's chances of survival: not one scientist or study has proven that in any way. My studies have proved conclusively that untreated cancer victims live up to four times longer than treated individuals. If one has cancer and opts to do nothing at all, he will live longer and feel better than if he undergoes radiation, chemotherapy or surgery, other than used in immediate life-threatening situation.' EAT: Organically-grown, if possible, fruit, vegetables, peas, beans, rice: chemically-grown carrots are out. Non-organic cabbage, broccoli, sprouts, mushrooms etc. should be boiled for a couple of minutes in salted water, drained and rinsed, then cooked. Lettuce and similar foods which cannot be cleansed with this process or peeled should be home-grown or avoided. Emphasise raw foods; whole grain breads; soya products: tofu, soymilk, miso. Eat B17 foods regularly - seeds of apricot, peach, plum, cherry, apple; sprouted alfalfa, mung and wheat seeds; millet, lentils, watercress, lima beans, blackeye beans, broccoli, cabbage, buckwheat, linseed etc. (Hard seeds like peach and apricot should be broken open, and the soft inside eaten) Garlic is the supreme plant from a physician's and a cook's point of view: eat it raw, cooked: grow it: use it as a medicine for everything from cancer and tuberculosis to coughs, colds, infections, high blood pressure, whooping cough, chemical/heavy metal/radiation detoxification etc., etc. Take a look at the site below which explains many misunderstood things about the cancer industry, and has some natural cures too.
