This happened to my 38 year old sister. Blood in stool for one year. Finally went in. Got a colonoscopy...came out of anesthesia and the Doctor said the exact same thing to her. "I've done this enough. I know what cancer looks like. " Tears. Just like you. She didn't care for the doctor and requested a different one for surgery to remove the mass. He was wonderful. Also. She DID NOT HAVE CANCER. She went ONE WHOLE WEEK THINKING SHE HAD CANCER. She was just wanting to find out after the surgery if it had spread. She didn't even have cancer. She had PRE CANCEROUS CELLS IN THAT MASS. She didn't have cancer tho. Just unbelievable.
I was wondering if this was possible because I have a mass in rectum a large one biopsy show not malignant but the surgery will remove it and I'm hoping it isn't cancer. But they said it still could be won't know until it's out and completely tested. Praying surgery goes good and it heals me.
I wonder if you could perhaps put me in touch with your sister? Because something very similar happened to me (I’m pretty much her age, too). I went three weeks with a cancer diagnosis that turned out to be wrong. It’s such a unique experience and I’d love to talk to someone who experienced the same.
its honestly absolutely shocking how many of these colon cancer stories start with "i was having blood in my stool for months/years and thought nothing of it / thought it was something else (like Hemorrhoids)." its unbelievable that people dont know blood in the stool is a MASSIVE red flag that needs the eye of a doctor ASAP. Not sure where people get this idea from... if i ever had blood in my stool i'd rush off to a doctor the same day very glad to hear you got the care you needed. THese videos are SO helpful to educate people of the signs. Good job & keep it up!
At this point, after watching so many videos of colon cancer patients and survivors, I think it's mainly a combination of massive denial and the need for everything to be fine because of all the obligations one may have. But mostly denial--because you can't fulfill your obligations if you' re not around to fulfill them, and that's a difficult reality to confront.
Sometimes its not the person in denial, it is the “doctors” brushing it off as hemorrhoids bc your 38 years old. For 3 years now I have been battling EXTREME fatigue, and i mean extreme fatigue, severe constipation, occasional blood in stool, hip/back pain and few others but those were the main ones. FINALLY I seen a new doctor a few weeks ago that said I needed a colonoscopy ASAP and she basically scolded me for waiting so long. But then I told her it wasnt me, it was the previous doctors and she the look of confusion covered her face. Anyways, she referred me to a surgeon, and to see him who said I needed a colonoscopy ASAP and moved some of his appts around to get me in quicker. I did wonder something, I thought gastro doctors was who you were referred to regarding a colonoscopy. Why was it referred to a surgeon? I shouldve asked but didnt think abt it at the time. Colonoscopy scheduled 9/16. I would like to think its just some internal hemorrhoids BUT I dont think that would explain the extreme fatigue. Regarding the fatigue, i have had multiple test for that and everything has came back good. Lets hope my scope goes well!
@@udbhav5079 thank you for being so nice! I will definitely update you with the results. One part of me wants them to find something that will explain the exhausting fatigue and other things but part of me wants them to find nothing lol.
Oh Jen…I’m 75 and had a positive colorguard and then last week got my FIRST colonoscopy last Tuesday..They found five polyps three small two larger…I’m scared BUT I know God has me…..just waiting for the results…God Bless you and EVERYONE dont be embarrassed get your colonoscopy…and YES God has to hit you over the head sometimes to wake you up…THANK a you for your testimony and ordeal
Oh wow! I'm so glad that you finally got the colonoscopy, even at 75yo. But now you can move forward with the right decisions to take care of your health. God bless!
God always has a plan... the struggle is getting on board with His plan. I hope you're doing well with wherever your cancer journey is taking you. God bless
Thank you for your story I have had bleeding for ten plus years I am 44 and have all the signs of cancer I have colonoscopy scheduled soon, my son is two and hlhs I pray that I make it through this!!!!
You are fantastic, brave, and I am so glad you decided to come out and say all those uncomfortable things. Do you realize how many lives you've saved? May God bless you.
Oh honey. I tripped across your channel. You are so sweet. I’m sorry you are going through this right now. My son (29 years old) has had bloody diarrhea for years, and he goes in for colonoscopies every few years and they cannot find anything wrong with him. He’s lost 30 to 40 pounds over the years and blood work comes back normal - something’s going on and the doctors just can’t find it.
I live in a small town in PA, and our doctors always say they cannot find something. Then when the patient goes to a large city (i.e., Philadelphia), they find the problem. Not all hospitals, clinics, or doctors are created equal. Check with your insurance and find another doctor, who possibly has more experience or access to better testing. I truly hope everything turns out well for your son.
Hi Mary. Have you considered parasites? Eating RAW Pumpkin seeds (not roasted) & Daily RAW Garlic may make a difference. Your son needs a doctor to test for this...I hope this helps. God bless.
Jennifer, thank you for being obedient to the Lord and for your openness. I’ve gone through the procedure three times and am due for another one. I’m 76 years old and have no major health issues, but have recently had changes in my bowl habits and yours was the link I clicked on. I’m a believer and love and trust the Lord with everything in me and hearing you talk about your relationships with Him means more than you know. Thank you and God bless you and keep you and make His beautiful face shine upon you and give you shalom.
Your sweet face & name will continue to be on my daily prayer list. May the good Lord watch over you always. Thank you so much for sharing and giving others so much to think about. 🙏❤️
I only wish more African American would look and listen to this video I had my colon test done I was good however I lost my best friend to this disease. Please people pay attention to your body.
Thank you for telling your story !!! Are you ok now ? I am diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis few months ago... ( Bloody stools for a year ) I am scared as hell because UC leedr to so many problems and Leeds to Colorectal cancer.
I am going through this right now…all the horrific symptoms…I just find that there is such a waiting game getting to see doctors, they seem even somewhat annoyed. Thank you for this…I too am a solid Christian and have been so prompted. I just wish things could move faster, but I am at peace because God knows that I have tried everything humanly possible to get things scheduled and going.
Same boat....after a year of trying to get help, a woman showed up out of the blue, to help me get tests scheduled....my dr was doing nothing. Didnt even want to send me to a gi dr. Just had colonoscopy and endoscopy. They found precancer polyp, however, couldn't see well, cause prep didnt go so well . Also found small liver lesions....only God could have opened up a door, I pretty much gave up❤
The waiting game can truly drive you nuts... But, if your life is rooted in God and Jesus, you'll be ok. How do I know? Because we know how this whole game ends. So, do what you can to find joy each day. Connect with friends and family now. Don't wait. You got this! God bless
Your pooping in public made me chuckle. Me too. It has to be a true emergency for me to use a public restroom. Thank you for sharing your story it is very brave and hopefully it educates other people. I wish you well.
Thank you for sharing, I am just waiting for a colonoscopy appointment, they don't think I have cancer but they think I may have colitis.....I just really want to know....I guess they won't know till they look....I am glad you have been treated and are doing well....x
I totally agree with you. I had a similar experience although mine was a different situation but in the same general area and in the beginning yes it was a bit embarrassing but if I hadn’t expressed my concern when I did I’m sure it could have gotten way worse. I feel that it brought me closer to God and glad it did. I’m grateful he gave me the grace to go through this and come out closer to him.
First of all, sorry for my delayed response. Totally didn't check the comments for a bit. Oops! Anyhow, I'm glad that you are feeling closer to God. Keep on going!
Thank you for sharing your experience. Overall I don't interact with my age group contemporaries who Id be able to discuss life-stage physical concerns with. So this candid discussion by you gave a great relevant vicariously sharing.
You are so AWESOME! This is a great video and so helpful and encouraging the way you talked about talking to God. God bless you for a super great and long life!
I’m 38 and jus recently started having that problem. My grandmother had colon cancer. I haven’t talked to my pcp yet. I’m hoping it’s jus internal hemorrhoids. Maybe God put this on my TH-cam feed so I’ll feel more aware. I mean I’m a nurse but when it comes to your own health it doesn’t matter.. I’ll start praying on it. 🙏🏻
My husband is a nurse too, he's often mentioned that nurses are some of the most unhealthy people... I do hope that you got some attention. Advocate for yourself like you are your #1 patient!!
Thank you for sharing your experience Jen. Not only have you been very thorough in explaining what happens and what to expect next week, you have also made a very strong witness to The Holy Spirits prompting and loving care and watchfulness over your wellbeing throughout the process. I see this was 2 years ago now, but still your video is helping others. I hope you read this. Thank you and may God Bless you more and more. ❤☦️
I talk to my doctor about everything I make a list of complaint at every follow up ..like the pain in the bottom of both of my feet...and I get a referral to a therapist...I sure hope nothing wrong with me ,Because I wonder who they will be referred to when they hear from a lawyer
I was waiting over a year for an endoscopy, due to nausea, pain. I couldnt get anywhere with myy dr. Out of the blue, a woman called me up, and said she was there to help. God did this, i didnt! 6 weeks later had endoscopy and colonoscopy. Ct shows small spots on liver, and the colonoscopy, i had a pre cancer polyp, however, prep didnt go well. Inwas so weak, so sick, it didnt do its job, so dr told me colonoscopy was poor and have to redo it. Told me he could have easily missed something😢 im waiting now for them to reschedule. I was going to give up, then God stepped in and opened a door, now i have to walk thru that door
Yes, God does open doors all the time... if we pay attention, we'll see the miracles. Surround yourself with good friends who can rally along side of you during this time. God bless

Had to come back and find out what I had commented on a year ago! To answer they do not put you to sleep for most things here, especially anything involving a camera.They offer you sedation which never works so go ahead anyway.
Thank you for sharing the honest truth that all the advertising never tells anyone. It maddens me that we constantly hear, catch cancer early for the best chance of treatment, and then no one tells us what the early signs are ? I wish every cancer patient would share this part of their story.
OMG Shirley here, I am 5he same way, I could never want to poop in a public restroom. I never had to poop thank good but if I did I can hold it until I got home.
Ohhh! I love that: "other side of adorable"! I will cherish that statement! Thanks for your support... and I am glad to be alive and be helpful to others.
I don't know for sure because this was 5 years ago. But, I do remember that he wanted to get a "look" inside the colon to see what was going on. A stool test wouldn't give them a visual of what was actually happening.
Thank goodness the first colonoscopy guidelines was lowered to age 45. That will save a lot of lives. Get it done because a lot more younger people are getting colon cancer.
Yes, grateful that the age was reduced. When I had my first colonoscopy in 2019, I was 45yo and it was a bit "odd" still to have it done. But, grateful that my doctor pushed for it to be done.
Women beware. I had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy in Dec. 2023. Some polyps removed, orherwide nothing cancerous. In March, i was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian or peritoneal cancer. Now having painful rectal symptoms.
What really makes me feel embarrassed is not her talking about poop and butt stuff but the thought that God has given her cancer so that she gets closer to him. Not very kind. Anyhow, the point is if there's blood in one's stool, don't wait for years before seeing a doctor! Make an appointment right away!
All good and perfect gifts are from God and comes down from the Father of lights, but unfortunately He gets blamed for what the devil does in our lives. May God open up your understanding to His Grace, mercy and absolute goodness. God is love. It’s the devil that comes to steal, kill and destroy us.
If you will read the Bible and pray for understanding you will learn why and how God uses our adversities to help us spiritually. We as humans are very stubborn and think we are smarter than he is. If you want to understand him study what he has revealed about himself. All things work together for good to those who love and follow him. Arrogance and pride leads to our downfall.
I had stomach pain, no blood. Removed 1/8 of colon. Bags for 2 years. No bags now. Cancer free for 6 years now

It can spread to liver and lungs, but can also spread to abdominal cavity and brain unfortunately. Time is of the essence.

Start age for colonoscopy has recently been moved down to age 45.
Yes! I'm so glad it has been bumped to earlier now!!
The Lord does speak to his children.
You are just the other side of adorable !! That was just so informative and funny ..thank you , I think you will help so many people. James 14:14
Ohhh! I love that: "other side of adorable"! I will cherish that statement! Thanks for your support... and I am glad to be alive and be helpful to others.
Did you change your diet or lifestyle?
Do you mean what did I change during the cancer treatment? Or, changes after the chemo was done?
What is the deal with (my faith)
I'm not sure what you mean by this statement... so please clarity so that I can respond (if needed). Thanks

How is everything?
Almost 5 years later... doing well so far! Thank God.
A voice whisper in my head to do a mammogram.
And I hope you followed that whisper and went and got the mammogram... xo
How are you doing now ?
So far, so good! Thank you!
How come he couldn’t do the stool test first ?
I don't know for sure because this was 5 years ago. But, I do remember that he wanted to get a "look" inside the colon to see what was going on. A stool test wouldn't give them a visual of what was actually happening.
You can never go wrong listening to the Holy Spirits prodding.❤️
Right?! NEVER wrong indeed!
The recommendation is now 45 in the USA. Colon cancer is on the rise.
Yes! I'm so glad it's earlier now. Very important to go and get your colonoscopy earlier!
Thank goodness the first colonoscopy guidelines was lowered to age 45. That will save a lot of lives. Get it done because a lot more younger people are getting colon cancer.
Yes, grateful that the age was reduced. When I had my first colonoscopy in 2019, I was 45yo and it was a bit "odd" still to have it done. But, grateful that my doctor pushed for it to be done.

I think it strange why people are so freaked out about their butt holes. I've had several colonoscopy and a few polyps takes out.
I know, right?! I'm glad you're getting the colonoscopies too! Way to take care of your health!
Amen!
Women beware. I had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy in Dec. 2023. Some polyps removed, orherwide nothing cancerous. In March, i was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian or peritoneal cancer.
Now having painful rectal symptoms.
beware of what exactly
Oh wow. Our bodies are complex. I hope you're getting the love and support you need at this time...
What really makes me feel embarrassed is not her talking about poop and butt stuff but the thought that God has given her cancer so that she gets closer to him.
Not very kind.
Anyhow, the point is if there's blood in one's stool, don't wait for years before seeing a doctor! Make an appointment right away!
All good and perfect gifts are from God and comes down from the Father of lights, but unfortunately He gets blamed for what the devil does in our lives. May God open up your understanding to His Grace, mercy and absolute goodness. God is love. It’s the devil that comes to steal, kill and destroy us.
@@Judybhorne God should have destroyed the devil long before to protect us and all!!
If you will read the Bible and pray for understanding you will learn why and how God uses our adversities to help us spiritually. We as humans are very stubborn and think we are smarter than he is. If you want to understand him study what he has revealed about himself. All things work together for good to those who love and follow him. Arrogance and pride leads to our downfall.
I worked with seniors with dementia. Poop talk was everything
HAHA! I've heard that before too!! I guess when you're old enough you just don't care anymore!!
Who doesn't tell their doctor about blood in their stool? That is total denial we are supposed to be our own best advocate.
Right?! I was sooo ignorant and stubborn for far too long!
Nice video, thanks.
You're very welcome.
