Anyone here have any experience with colorectal cancer?

6. Are you a vet? Are you near a medical school? I've had colon cancer and this is what I know about it ...

... my dad had trouble making a bowel movement, what he thought were hemorrhoids (including bleeding) was polyps and colon cancer. His doctor, in Louisiana was incompetent. by the time he was correctly diagnosed, it was way past too late.

I was diagnosed in 2017 and in two weeks had surgery with only a partial colon removal and I am cured.

Here's the good news: Colon cancer takes 15 years to kill you. At anytime in the first 10 years the cure is simple. for the next 2 0r 3years it can still be cured but there will be major surgery and probably a bag, but you're still alive.

In 2019 I was in surgery for Bladder cancer and the the shortened colon made harvesting colon to replace the tubes from my kidneys to the stoma that drains into my urine bag tricky. After fighting bladder cancer for almost 12 years, I've been cancer free for a little over five years.

There are ways to get treatment for this and if it is caught in time, cure is available and an almost normal return to life.

I will send you my e-mail and phone. I would be available if you need questions answered or just want to talk.
