Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Patients with colon cancer metastatic to liver and bone are deemed non-curable and have a poor prognosis. We present a case of recurrent colon cancer with synchronous hepatic and bony metastases treated with radiation, chemotherapy, and curative-intent hepatectomy. The patient is alive and free of disease recurrence, off chemotherapy, more than 2 years post-hepatectomy.
