Answer
Metastasized colon cancer gets into your organs, liver first, and liver is the hardest to treat. The whole point of your liver is to remove toxins, and when you start to blast the body with chemo (toxins), the liver gets overloaded.
The solution, which saved Michael's life, is a slow-drip chemo, delivered by a HAI pump , attached to a patient's liver.
