I was diagnosed stage 3+ colon cancer a year ago….had a colon resection then endured 6 months of chemo. The side effects were horrendous…my post chemo scans are now showing questionable spots on my liver. I’ll have scans tomorrow to determine if biopsy is necessary. I feel that we are the world’s greatest warriors….we’ll be victorious in our fight.
I wish you well. I had stage 3c rectal cancer and have had no evidence of disease for almost 5 years (though I just had polyps removed and am awaiting the biopsy report). Stay strong!
I had stage 2 colon 2 year ago did chemo radiation and surgery. My last follow up scan showed a mass in my liver, biopsy done it is colon cancer stage 4 now. Back on chemo to shrink it t see if surgery is possible. More scans in a few weeks...
Your story is my story word for word on stage 4 colon cancer and it started with me when I was 60 I'm 64 now I wear the gloves going in the refrigerator I know the pins needles knives the warm water I know everything you said God bless you and your family
❤ my mom died in 1989 from colon cancer so I have been getting colonoscopies for the past 30 years. She was diagnosed at age 63. I’m stunned by the numbers of young people getting the same diagnosis. Please, if you have symptoms such as blood in your stool demand to get tested. You have a beautiful family. Wishing you the best.
My 48 year old son has stage 3 pancreatic cancer, has had 11 rounds of chemo and each one is harder for him to get thru. After the next one they'll decide if he can have the surgery. We're all hoping hard for that because it seems like the chemo is killing him. Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you a long lifetime of good health. ❤
Sorry to hear. I pray for u and ur family. I’m a big advocate for surgery first. Chemo …..I don’t know , but every thing I read about it. Doesn’t come out positive. But other hand. Surgery maimed me. For life
Stage 3 here and chemo is the devil every two weeks for 6 months and I also had to take the chemo home for 2 days , but after 3 years I’m still cancer free , so praying for you and your family

I’m cancer free 18 years as of Sunday for ovarian cancer (stage 3c) and coming up on one year for stage 0 breast cancer (unrelated - I am negative for all 85 cancers they screened me for). When I went through chemo years ago, I had the same “day before” thing you described. The nurses called it anticipatory nausea, and I started taking meds the day before to help me along. The stories we can all tell! But the best thing of all is he;ping others coming behind us on their journey. We’re all different, but we can all help. Take care of yourself and your beautiful family.
I am also a stage 4 colon cancer patient. Your experience is very much like my own. I hope for both of us a complete recovery and a long life of happiness ahead. The entire process is difficult. But I pray. I have two more treatments to go, and then it's on to maintenance.

I'm so sorry this happened to you and I appreciate your telling your story in such a clear and honest way. I'm sure you've helped many people dealing with serious medical conditions. All the best to you and your family.
I wish there was an elaboration of the “not feeling well”. That can mean so many things. Im sorry you had to go through this! Prayers for you and your family
I agree. I tell my doctor that I have no appetite, get sick after anything I swallow,, even water, and it sounds like I’m whining. I go days with eating so little, so I’m so tired and hopeless. Have had so much diagnostic work, all showing nothing. So frustrating. Every day is a struggle to find the energy to get through the day, make excuses for going to the bathroom 20 times a day, planning your day around navigating the bathroom, trying to figure out what, if anything, I can eat at team lunches, etc. stomach issues are so debilitating, but I feel not taken seriously. Maybe because it mostly affects women? It’s just all “nerves”.
I just had two large polyps removed and I’m 36. I’ve always had IBS symptoms but the last few years I had a lot more gas, abnormal bowel movements and mucus! If you see mucus on a regular basis definitely tell the doc. After I eat i typically have stomach pain too but nothing unbearable
Thank you for telling your honest detailed story of all involved. You are so brave and so Amazing, I have an apt. for colonoscopy, with great hesitation, but now, I am so glad I have an apt. and know I am doing the right thing to be checked and not let my fear take over. God has really blessed you and your family. Your all beautiful.
OMG, you went through the hell! But you look so good now after all! I don’t know why I am much more scared of chemotherapy than the cancer itself! Thank you for sharing your story, for me it’s very helpful. Wishing all the best for you❤️
I am so sorry about your health issues. You surely have a good attitude. I feel you will get over this hurdle. When you don't have any further disease, make sure you get checked often to make sure nothing shows up. Apparently, after 5 years with no signs of cancer, you are determined to be cancer free or some might deem you in remission. Good luck to you. I will be thinking about you and wishing you good health.
I’ve been battling same symptoms since i was in high school as well. Got blood work and a ct scan and nothing. Going in for colonoscopy in a few weeks! Praying for good news! Thank you for sharing your experience! Prayers your way!

@kskip4242 you can take 100k IU's per day for 2 weeks then 50k/ day until your level is 150ng/ml. 200ng/ml if you have confirmed C. You'll also want to take magnesium and K2 with it. Just read up on it and determine dosages.
Thank you for sharing. I too have stage 4 colon cancer and have been in chemotherapy since Sept. of 2022. I will probably be on maintenance levels of chemo indefinitely.
I'm going to have to be hospitalized to have this done but I'm going to get it done and pray everything's all right I feel pretty good I have lots of energy but I've had Crohn's for 35 years now so prayers for everyone here
thanks for your story, my roommate is going through colon and I with lung ,, here is an FYI What are the symptoms of lung cancer in nonsmokers? In the United States, lung cancer kills more than 361 people each day. This is the highest number of deaths from any type of cancer, and more than breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers combined. WHY? According to various sources, engine exhaust contains over 40 identified toxic chemicals, including benzene, arsenic, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, 1,3-butadiene, lead, and a variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are considered cancer-causing substances; this complex mixture is often referred to as "soot" and is a major concern due to its fine particulate matter that can deeply penetrate the lungs.
She looks absolutely beautiful with the short hair. I think she should keep it that way. I know if I had a pretty face like that that’s what I would do anyway, happy that she finally got answers and treatment.
What were your symptoms? I feel like saying you weren’t feeling well and was tired is so vague and nearly everyone. I’m sorry you’re going through this.
My experience with Cancer is not a good one 😭😩💔 Our 7 yr old son was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma 😩💔😭 we were devastated 😩💔😭 he was in a league playing football and he started complaining I called our dr and he said bring him in if he keeps complaining dad took him in mom had to work the dr told my husband that he did not want to GUESS let’s do an X-ray and they did the next day I stopped by the doctors office to see if he knew anything and I knew once they took me into his office it was not good news he has been my dr since I was 4 yrs old 🤔 he walked in with tears in his eyes and my stomach just got sick he put the X-ray up and he said THAT IS A TUMOR AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT KIND 😩💔😭we were rushed to the hospital we also had a 6 yr old daughter when we got to the pediatric cancer floor the kids went to the playroom while we walked around and it was just to much for me I saw babies toddlers all the way to teenagers with cancer and none of them were happy they were either screaming crying or just down it broke and I started feeling light headed and down I went I fainted the last time I fainted was when I was 17 yrs old in total I had fainted 3 times before but I was in high school and the doctors could not figure out why well it’s back 😩💔😭 nurses came running I woke up crying knowing your child is going to SUFFER was just to much 😭😭 I tell people all the time please do not take your kids for granted 💗💙 and life as we knew it was gone ….. YOU HAVE TO FIGHT AND STAY STRONG FOR YOUR KIDS 💗💙💙
So sorry for your loss. I cant imagine how much it hurts. I have lost m6ndog and cat to aggressive cancer ..and lost my father in law , who died last .week from brain cancer . I was broken as I treated my pets like children. I hope you all find some peace these days . Bless you all. Cancer 8s so cruel.
Your story was extremely helpful to me. God was good to you. My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal/liver cancer. He is 57 years old and what I would call in great physical shape. He also had some odd bowel movements which sparked the coloscopy after just 5 years of a clear polyp free checkup. They say he is inoperable and incurable but I don't accept this. We are at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida. We also were toyed around with chemo/surgery then surgery/chemo. We are getting ready for our second chemo on Monday. Did you change your diet or take supplements? We are willing to FIGHT for his life!
Thank you for sharing your experience. It is very helpful. At the beginning, you did a couple endoscopy, they are negative. Did you do colonoscopy at that time as well?
I had the same issues. So exhausted, sick to my stomach all the time, couldn’t eat much at a time, bloated and miserable, diarrhea and constipation and was initially diagnosed with IBS and Gluten sensativity. Had a colon biopsy in 2019 and discovered I had Mastocystits entercolitis. It’s an over expression of histamine in my intestines, basically your intestines become recognized by the mast cells as a threat or foreign allergen and starts attacking the intestinal/stomach tissue. He put me on Zyrtec and Pepcid together everyday and it has stopped the process for now. These meds combined are H1 & H2 histamine blockers. There is no cure for mastocystits and can become systemic eventually and attack my liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs or skin. I wonder if thats what you had and it developed into cancer? Glad you are ok.
If I could look like that with shaved hair I would have done it a long time ago. No blowdrying. What a pleasure😊. You look beautiful. Rooting for you😊😊
This is so crazy. I have been having stomach issues since 2015 sick on the stomach tummy aches, issues with food, nausea and vomiting. Had several colonoscopies and they said everything looks fine or a little irritation. It sounds so much like your stomach. I am always so nervous going anywhere because I feel like I will hinder my husband and children. My husband is also a FF. I’m almost 49 next month and I’m told you are too young for anything like that. But why am I so exhausted and feel yucky all the time?? Something seems wrong and I’ve been made to feel like it’s “in my head” who does that?!? I don’t want to be sick. I’m tired of being sick. I don’t know where else to go 😭I’m assuming if it is bad when they figure it out it’s probably gonna be too late.
Go to an allergy specialist and be tested for environmental and food allergies. Also just request from your doctor a referral to a GI specialist and request a biopsy. There are also blood tests the allergist and GI can do to determine if there is something going on. You have to be your own advocate and if your doctor is talking you out of it, then find another doctor. You probably need some pre and probiotics to get things back in balance.
I have similar stomach issues. I was diagnosed with celiac from blood work and have been on the endoscopy waiting list for over a year now. I changed to a GF diet but my symptoms still haven’t gotten better.
Same here grace I was diagnosed with celiac & had 3 upper endoscopy they say you have gastritis ulcers & celiac well I've been gluten free for 3 years now & no changes my bathroom problems are still persistent stomach always mad gurgling smh hang in there grace I hope you get your endoscopy soon 👍
Every chemo session claims its toll from your body, as session count increases, body gets weaker with more side effects and more duration being uncomfortable 😢...no idea when the world be able to conquer cancer and give hope to thousands of people fighting this disease...
My mom and sister were both diagnosed with colon cancer at age 29. My grandma and aunt both had urinary related cancers. It is due to Lynch Syndrome. I don’t have the gene, but my other sister does, which means my child does not carry the gene and her children are 50/50. Lynch Syndrome is usually the culprit when diagnosed at such a young age. It’s important to know if you carry the gene. Early detection is key.
They aren’t wrong. Cancer is typically found in older people because it usually takes a long time for the cell damage to occur that results in tumors. Colon cancer may be the number one cancer killer for under 40 year olds, but the vast majority of colon cancer patients are over 65. Just go to a chemo unit and assess the ages of the people in the chairs.
@ I am going to a naturopath right now to get IV vitamin C therapy and other holistic therapies and nine out of the 10 people that are there have colon cancer and they are all under 40 years old
@@andreabontempo643 I’m sure that’s so. But what you are seeing does not represent the entire population of colon cancer patients. Perhaps older colon cancer patients aren’t aware of a naturopath. Or don’t believe in the treatment. Or are more conservative in medical treatments. I have no doubt that there are many more younger colon cancer patients. Latest stats indicate that about 20% of colorectal cancer patients are 54 or younger.
@@lalathebenificent1335that’s what I thought too, but she said they thought it was celiac disease, and that’s a disease of the colon. So they must have done a scope. I wonder if she had a rare form of colon cancer that was diffuse (so like flat) instead of a mass/tumor? I have no idea. It’s scary to think in 6 months she went from “fine scope” to stage 4 😳
@@alexandratewell5337this has been our question too. This is my sister, when she says scope it was a colonoscopy. We do not understand why she wasn’t diagnosed sooner, how these other doctors missed the polyps.
@@alexandratewell5337it’s important to understand staging of colon cancer. Stage 4 means it’s metastasized from the colon to other parts of the body. She said her colon tumors were stage 1 or 2. So relatively small. And possibly hard to pick up in a colonoscopy. So even though her colon tumors were relatively small they had spread to the liver which automatically makes it Stage 4. There are many Stage 4 colon cancer patients who have much bigger tumors in the colon. Requiring very significant surgeries to remove them and possibly getting a colostomy as an outcome. Not to minimize her situation, but she had about the best kind of stage 4 colon cancer. Resecting the liver is usually better than having to resect a lung, since liver tissue re-grows whereas lung tissue does not. I wish her well with recovery and long term prognosis.
Pretty sure she meant endoscopy if you listen to 3:31 she said she wasn’t due for a “routine” colonscopy for another 12 years seems all this time they did an endoscopy but not a colonoscopy. Either way she should have had one years back with those symptoms . Once again doctors gas-lighting
Hum makes me wonder if something serious is happening with me. I don’t understand why these doctors say they are surprised instead of following the rule of follow the worst case scenario and anything can happen. Doctors can’t act like they know it all
I do think you did try to find out what was causing your symptoms, it was just missed. You being so young they didn't take it seriously. I don't think there was anything you could've done differently.
I wonder if all the colonoscopies are the culprit. I believe and I’ve heard it elsewhere that a cancer cell can be transferred through the procedure. The scopes can’t be completely rendered clesn. I know it’s not the only reason because young people are getting diagnosed and they don’t get colonoscopies but I’m still suspicious that could be a possibility. Catch 22. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. I’d opt out. Even if it’s positive for cancer, what do they offer you? Poison. No thanks. Start researching now first holistic remedies. Prevention is worth a pound of cure.
I’m with u on that. I’m 64 genetically and heratarily on the younger side, my mom my grandmother I’m the only remotely skock. ? Who knows, but I woke up during a colonial about 30 years ago. I got cured of colonoscopy s
Does anyone wonder what in the world is going on with these young DX uptick? I'm tired and baffled at fact when I don't see the concern from the average American questioning our health care model and food safety. We need to get to root of what is happening. This is not normal.
Im still trying to conjure up cancer in myself. Smoked since I was 13, and I am now 38. My alleged biological father had colorectal cancer. I won't go though any sort of treatments.
@@dianajames4717so no treatment at all? It sounds like you don’t want to be here anymore. I get why you don’t want chemo but they are having good success with it. I hope you at least are having your ovaries removed. I hope you find a reason to fight for your life and find complete healing.
@@dianajames4717 I was going through chemo five years ago for stage 3c rectal cancer. So I have experience with it. It wasn’t pleasant. I really didn’t have too much nausea, but everyone is different. Ultimately it left me with permanent neuropathy in my feet and fingers. But it certainly had a key role in my survival. I can understand your desire to avoid chemo. That’s your choice. I hope you do well with whatever treatment path you decide to take.
Unbelievable but you probably had micro tumors for years. You know your body best but feeling so unwell is not normal and means something is brewing. I know from experience 😅
@breezeh1127 Stage 4 means the cancer has spread. I, too, thought that is what it meant . I presently have stage 3B rectal cancer. I have a very large tumor in my rectum. After having a PET scan, the lympth nodes in and around the area of the tumor lit up like a Christmas tree. My oncologist said I'm stage 3B " High risk." My cancer is on the verge of spreading. I just completed my first round of chemo. I, too, have a chemo " pump" for two days after the treatment as the lady in this video shared.
@Del-Scent I'm not sure why you are explaining the stages to me🤔 Unfortunately Im quite familiar with cancer and their stages. I wasn't confused about it, OP was. I'm sorry for your stage 3 cancer. I wish you well. ❤️
@@breezeh1127Stage 4 has a five year survival rate of about 15%. Stage 3 50-70%. So while not a death sentence, Stage 4 is a difficult one. Seems like hers was caught relatively early. The challenge will be recurrence.
My exhusband had stage 4 colon cancer. He is cancer free almost 25 years later.

How much vitamin D and don't you need other nutrients to absorb vitamin d ?
@kskip4242 you can take 100k IU's per day for 2 weeks then 50k/ day until your level is 150ng/ml. 200ng/ml if you have confirmed C. You'll also want to take magnesium and K2 with it. Just read up on it and determine dosages.
Thank you for sharing. I too have stage 4 colon cancer and have been in chemotherapy since Sept. of 2022. I will probably be on maintenance levels of chemo indefinitely.
le bonjour de la France ! courage !
I'm going to have to be hospitalized to have this done but I'm going to get it done and pray everything's all right I feel pretty good I have lots of energy but I've had Crohn's for 35 years now so prayers for everyone here
thanks for your story, my roommate is going through colon and I with lung ,, here is an FYI
What are the symptoms of lung cancer in nonsmokers? In the United States, lung cancer kills more than 361 people each day. This is the highest number of deaths from any type of cancer, and more than breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers combined. WHY? According to various sources, engine exhaust contains over 40 identified toxic chemicals, including benzene, arsenic, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, 1,3-butadiene, lead, and a variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are considered cancer-causing substances; this complex mixture is often referred to as "soot" and is a major concern due to its fine particulate matter that can deeply penetrate the lungs.
Thank you
Great comment 👍
They are finding colon cancer in younger people on daily basis. Most GI specialists are now scoping at 40-45.
She looks absolutely beautiful with the short hair. I think she should keep it that way. I know if I had a pretty face like that that’s what I would do anyway, happy that she finally got answers and treatment.
God bless you! ❤
Praying for you Shayla! (That’s my daughter’s name too!) 🩷🙏
Such a cruel world we live in
What were your symptoms? I feel like saying you weren’t feeling well and was tired is so vague and nearly everyone. I’m sorry you’re going through this.
She said that she had rectal bleeding. That's a symptom of colorectal cancer.
My experience with Cancer is not a good one 😭😩💔 Our 7 yr old son was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma 😩💔😭 we were devastated 😩💔😭 he was in a league playing football and he started complaining I called our dr and he said bring him in if he keeps complaining dad took him in mom had to work the dr told my husband that he did not want to GUESS let’s do an X-ray and they did the next day I stopped by the doctors office to see if he knew anything and I knew once they took me into his office it was not good news he has been my dr since I was 4 yrs old 🤔 he walked in with tears in his eyes and my stomach just got sick he put the X-ray up and he said THAT IS A TUMOR AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT KIND 😩💔😭we were rushed to the hospital we also had a 6 yr old daughter when we got to the pediatric cancer floor the kids went to the playroom while we walked around and it was just to much for me I saw babies toddlers all the way to teenagers with cancer and none of them were happy they were either screaming crying or just down it broke and I started feeling light headed and down I went I fainted the last time I fainted was when I was 17 yrs old in total I had fainted 3 times before but I was in high school and the doctors could not figure out why well it’s back 😩💔😭 nurses came running I woke up crying knowing your child is going to SUFFER was just to much 😭😭 I tell people all the time please do not take your kids for granted 💗💙 and life as we knew it was gone …..
YOU HAVE TO FIGHT AND STAY STRONG FOR YOUR KIDS 💗💙💙
So sorry for your loss.
I cant imagine how much it hurts.
I have lost m6ndog and cat to aggressive cancer
..and lost my father in law , who died last
.week from brain cancer .
I was broken as I treated my pets like children.
I hope you all find some peace these days .
Bless you all.
Cancer 8s so cruel.
Your story was extremely helpful to me. God was good to you. My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal/liver cancer. He is 57 years old and what I would call in great physical shape. He also had some odd bowel movements which sparked the coloscopy after just 5 years of a clear polyp free checkup. They say he is inoperable and incurable but I don't accept this. We are at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida. We also were toyed around with chemo/surgery then surgery/chemo. We are getting ready for our second chemo on Monday. Did you change your diet or take supplements? We are willing to FIGHT for his life!
Thank you for sharing your experience. It is very helpful. At the beginning, you did a couple endoscopy, they are negative. Did you do colonoscopy at that time as well?
I had the same issues. So exhausted, sick to my stomach all the time, couldn’t eat much at a time, bloated and miserable, diarrhea and constipation and was initially diagnosed with IBS and Gluten sensativity. Had a colon biopsy in 2019 and discovered I had Mastocystits entercolitis. It’s an over expression of histamine in my intestines, basically your intestines become recognized by the mast cells as a threat or foreign allergen and starts attacking the intestinal/stomach tissue. He put me on Zyrtec and Pepcid together everyday and it has stopped the process for now. These meds combined are H1 & H2 histamine blockers. There is no cure for mastocystits and can become systemic eventually and attack my liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs or skin. I wonder if thats what you had and it developed into cancer? Glad you are ok.
If I could look like that with shaved hair I would have done it a long time ago. No blowdrying. What a pleasure😊. You look beautiful. Rooting for you😊😊
Hope you are okay
This is so crazy. I have been having stomach issues since 2015 sick on the stomach tummy aches, issues with food, nausea and vomiting. Had several colonoscopies and they said everything looks fine or a little irritation. It sounds so much like your stomach. I am always so nervous going anywhere because I feel like I will hinder my husband and children. My husband is also a FF. I’m almost 49 next month and I’m told you are too young for anything like that. But why am I so exhausted and feel yucky all the time?? Something seems wrong and I’ve been made to feel like it’s “in my head” who does that?!? I don’t want to be sick. I’m tired of being sick. I don’t know where else to go 😭I’m assuming if it is bad when they figure it out it’s probably gonna be too late.
Go to an allergy specialist and be tested for environmental and food allergies. Also just request from your doctor a referral to a GI specialist and request a biopsy. There are also blood tests the allergist and GI can do to determine if there is something going on. You have to be your own advocate and if your doctor is talking you out of it, then find another doctor. You probably need some pre and probiotics to get things back in balance.
I have similar stomach issues. I was diagnosed with celiac from blood work and have been on the endoscopy waiting list for over a year now. I changed to a GF diet but my symptoms still haven’t gotten better.
Same here grace I was diagnosed with celiac & had 3 upper endoscopy they say you have gastritis ulcers & celiac well I've been gluten free for 3 years now & no changes my bathroom problems are still persistent stomach always mad gurgling smh hang in there grace I hope you get your endoscopy soon 👍
You have to wait a year for an endoscopy??! Where do you live? Are you living in the UK or Canada? I hope you get better soon. Keep being proactive.

Every chemo session claims its toll from your body, as session count increases, body gets weaker with more side effects and more duration being uncomfortable 😢...no idea when the world be able to conquer cancer and give hope to thousands of people fighting this disease...
My mom and sister were both diagnosed with colon cancer at age 29. My grandma and aunt both had urinary related cancers. It is due to Lynch Syndrome. I don’t have the gene, but my other sister does, which means my child does not carry the gene and her children are 50/50. Lynch Syndrome is usually the culprit when diagnosed at such a young age. It’s important to know if you carry the gene. Early detection is key.
You are beautiful!! ❤
Never ignore blood in the stool
One question if she said a part of liver was removed , can you live normally with just the part left of your liver? I thought the liver is important ?
It, but also It’s The only part of our body that regenerates, if I am not mistaken
Microplastics is a big reason that colon cancer is skyrocketing among younger adults.
Scope as in colonoscopy?
For anyone wondering, she had stage 4 colorectal cancer.
Can she tell us where in the colon the polyps were ?
They are wrong about the average age of a colon cancer diagnosis. Next year colon cancer will be the number one cancer in 40 year olds and under
They aren’t wrong. Cancer is typically found in older people because it usually takes a long time for the cell damage to occur that results in tumors. Colon cancer may be the number one cancer killer for under 40 year olds, but the vast majority of colon cancer patients are over 65. Just go to a chemo unit and assess the ages of the people in the chairs.
@ I am going to a naturopath right now to get IV vitamin C therapy and other holistic therapies and nine out of the 10 people that are there have colon cancer and they are all under 40 years old
@@andreabontempo643 I’m sure that’s so. But what you are seeing does not represent the entire population of colon cancer patients. Perhaps older colon cancer patients aren’t aware of a naturopath. Or don’t believe in the treatment. Or are more conservative in medical treatments. I have no doubt that there are many more younger colon cancer patients. Latest stats indicate that about 20% of colorectal cancer patients are 54 or younger.
@ no , I just saw the latest report saying that colon cancer was going to be the number one cancer of 40 somethings or less in age in 2025
The Popowicz family loves you big time, Shayla babe. ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry for what are you went through, stay stong and hope you fully recover, GOD is with you.
I don't understand why the previous scopes showed nothing, despite you having symptoms.
I was wondering, too. But she said "scopes", not colonoscopies, so maybe she had an esophageal/stomach scope.
@@lalathebenificent1335that’s what I thought too, but she said they thought it was celiac disease, and that’s a disease of the colon. So they must have done a scope. I wonder if she had a rare form of colon cancer that was diffuse (so like flat) instead of a mass/tumor? I have no idea. It’s scary to think in 6 months she went from “fine scope” to stage 4 😳
@@alexandratewell5337this has been our question too. This is my sister, when she says scope it was a colonoscopy. We do not understand why she wasn’t diagnosed sooner, how these other doctors missed the polyps.
@@alexandratewell5337it’s important to understand staging of colon cancer. Stage 4 means it’s metastasized from the colon to other parts of the body. She said her colon tumors were stage 1 or 2. So relatively small. And possibly hard to pick up in a colonoscopy. So even though her colon tumors were relatively small they had spread to the liver which automatically makes it Stage 4. There are many Stage 4 colon cancer patients who have much bigger tumors in the colon. Requiring very significant surgeries to remove them and possibly getting a colostomy as an outcome. Not to minimize her situation, but she had about the best kind of stage 4 colon cancer. Resecting the liver is usually better than having to resect a lung, since liver tissue re-grows whereas lung tissue does not. I wish her well with recovery and long term prognosis.
Pretty sure she meant endoscopy if you listen to 3:31 she said she wasn’t due for a “routine” colonscopy for another 12 years seems all this time they did an endoscopy but not a colonoscopy. Either way she should have had one years back with those symptoms . Once again doctors gas-lighting
NO WAR AND MORE CURE'S.
Hum makes me wonder if something serious is happening with me. I don’t understand why these doctors say they are surprised instead of following the rule of follow the worst case scenario and anything can happen. Doctors can’t act like they know it all
Mebendazole and hydroxychloroquine combo may work for colorectal cancer
Is there a reason why the sound always fades in and out on these videos?
I think it's when she goes on to the next question
❤️🐞
I do a colon cleanse one a month all the extra digestive food shouldn't be left in your colon clean it out once every other month
How do you do your colon cleaned?
Trust in GOD/JESUS 🙏
I do think you did try to find out what was causing your symptoms, it was just missed. You being so young they didn't take it seriously. I don't think there was anything you could've done differently.
I wonder if all the colonoscopies are the culprit. I believe and I’ve heard it elsewhere that a cancer cell can be transferred through the procedure. The scopes can’t be completely rendered clesn. I know it’s not the only reason because young people are getting diagnosed and they don’t get colonoscopies but I’m still suspicious that could be a possibility. Catch 22. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. I’d opt out. Even if it’s positive for cancer, what do they offer you? Poison. No thanks. Start researching now first holistic remedies. Prevention is worth a pound of cure.
I’m with u on that. I’m 64 genetically and heratarily on the younger side, my mom my grandmother I’m the only remotely skock. ? Who knows, but I woke up during a colonial about 30 years ago. I got cured of colonoscopy s
I meant to say I am the only one remotely sick.sorry for the spelling
It’s your cell phone in your pocket causing it, and the wifi signals at 2.4 GHz. Throw out all of your tech.

Does anyone wonder what in the world is going on with these young DX uptick? I'm tired and baffled at fact when I don't see the concern from the average American questioning our health care model and food safety. We need to get to root of what is happening. This is not normal.
Since the CVD jabs.
@martinacaffrey4411 I think of that all the time. These new turbo cancers
You are so beautiful
Im still trying to conjure up cancer in myself. Smoked since I was 13, and I am now 38. My alleged biological father had colorectal cancer. I won't go though any sort of treatments.
Me either i cant imagine going through chemo
You might have a different perspective if you find yourself actually diagnosed with cancer.
@roch145 i was just diagnosed with cancer. Ovarian cancer stage 3 and I have no interest in getting chemo.
@@dianajames4717so no treatment at all? It sounds like you don’t want to be here anymore. I get why you don’t want chemo but they are having good success with it. I hope you at least are having your ovaries removed. I hope you find a reason to fight for your life and find complete healing.
@@dianajames4717 I was going through chemo five years ago for stage 3c rectal cancer. So I have experience with it. It wasn’t pleasant. I really didn’t have too much nausea, but everyone is different. Ultimately it left me with permanent neuropathy in my feet and fingers. But it certainly had a key role in my survival. I can understand your desire to avoid chemo. That’s your choice. I hope you do well with whatever treatment path you decide to take.
She didn’t have colostomy bag ?
I had a colon resection. Not everyone needs one.

Raw vegan diet girl - that’s the key
Vegan diet is not the way atall iv heard so many story's now of people that have been a vegan for years and still get Colon cancer
Unbelievable but you probably had micro tumors for years. You know your body best but feeling so unwell is not normal and means something is brewing. I know from experience 😅
Are your completely cured of stage 4 or are u on a drug to prolong your life. I thought stage 4 is terminal.
Stage 4 is not always terminal.
@breezeh1127 Stage 4 means the cancer has spread. I, too, thought that is what it meant . I presently have stage 3B rectal cancer. I have a very large tumor in my rectum. After having a PET scan, the lympth nodes in and around the area of the tumor lit up like a Christmas tree. My oncologist said I'm stage 3B " High risk." My cancer is on the verge of spreading. I just completed my first round of chemo. I, too, have a chemo " pump" for two days after the treatment as the lady in this video shared.
@Del-Scent I'm not sure why you are explaining the stages to me🤔 Unfortunately Im quite familiar with cancer and their stages. I wasn't confused about it, OP was. I'm sorry for your stage 3 cancer. I wish you well. ❤️
@@Del-Scent What were your initial symptoms?
Sending you prayers for strength and healing🙏
@@breezeh1127Stage 4 has a five year survival rate of about 15%. Stage 3 50-70%. So while not a death sentence, Stage 4 is a difficult one. Seems like hers was caught relatively early. The challenge will be recurrence.
