Replying to: Wife just diagnosed thank you so much for your post. My husband is having surgery this week and I am so worried about it spreading. I can not believe that it went to your liver but you were still able to overcome it. I bet a lot of it was your mental strength to fight it. Please stay well friend

Replying to: Colon cancer at 27? Thanks for the reply. It's just the fact that it was a lot more than just streaks on the tp that worried me. I'm sure hoping it is just due to constipation, but I'll see what the doctor says first. As for stool softeners, I don't know if that would be a good idea. Laxatives seem to affect me differently then they do other people so I'm thinking a softener would too. I've tried...

Colostomy vs. Resection -...
Published (2009-12-21 00:00:00)
Hello - My second post related to my father's case. He has a 3.5cm tumor that is about 6-7 cm from the anus. The surgeon is nor sure if this will be a resection or colostomy case because it is so close to the rectal muscle. Can others please tell me of any similiar cases? What were the determining factors for going resection vs. colostomy, etc.? Thank you in advance!

Replying to: handassisted lap anterior resection Hi Jennie, I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis. It is tough anytime, but it adds a lot of additional worry to holidays. My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 48. He had the resection you are having. He was in the hospital about 5 days and was eating soid foods within a couple of days. The surgery went smoothly and he was off work about 2 weeks. During the surgery they will remove...

Replying to: Colon cancer at 27? If you have bright red blood on the toilet paper when wiping it's nothing to be too alarmed about. When you are constipated the stool is hardened and can tear the walls of the rectum and the anus and cause it to bleed and get on the toilet paper. If you suffer from constipation often, I might suggest a stool softener taken daily, or increase your fiber intake, or try a stool softener such as Muralax....

Replying to: Colon cancer at 27? Hello- I'm a very young 58 year old male. I seemed to be mostly healthy until I lost my job 4 years ago. I believe being seditary for all these years caused me to develope diverticulosis that in turn, 2 years later ( after living on 'Miralax' suggested by my gastrointerlogist, I had to have surgery due to an obstruction in my colon near my rectum. The biopsy showed I had developed cancer in some...

About 24 hours before I need to have a bowel movement, I develop a strange feeling in my lower left abdomen. It seems to wrap around my left side and I can feel it in my lower back. I have a feeling of fullness in that area, mild pain, discomfort, loud gurgling and I can feel my pulse very strongly in the affected part of my abdomen. All of these symptoms disappear after I have had a bowel ...

Replying to: Wife just diagnosed
Hi,
I'm so sorry for that diagnosis. There are different stages and depending upon the stage, different treatments exist. Usually surgery is done to remove the primary tumor. Chemotherapy treatments will also be likely. There have been so many advances in the treatment of colerectal cancer. I am a stage IV survivor. - I was dx in 2005 and had surgery ...

GP777 I'm 49 yr old male who was diagnosed in October 08, surgery February 09. My tumor was near the anus also and attached to my prostate. I did not want a colostomy., but after the surgeon got in there, I did not have a choice, so I have a colostomy. Once I accepted it, it's not as bad as I thought it was going be. I'm back doing what I was doing ...
