    My daughter is 23 and has been diagnosed with colon/rectal cancer stage 3B. She is currently undergoing chemo and radiation treatments and will have surgery in a few months. Any suggestions on how to get through this difficult time an help her stay positive?

      Welcome to Whatnext. My heart goes out to you and your daughter. If you click on "questions" above, and post your question in that section, more people may see it to answer. Take one day at a time, live in the now, and celebrate small steps forward. Give yourselves something to look forward to. Write a list of the things she enjoys, or would like to do, and start putting those onto the calendar so you have something to look forward to besides cancer.
