My daughter was diagnosed with advanced stage 3 colon cancer at the age of 25. Doctors didn’t want to do a colonoscopy and were convinced it was diet or stress. She was an athlete and took great care of her body. After many surgeries and twelve rounds of chemo, she had no evidence of disease for about 5 months. Cancer metastasized to advanced peritoneal cancer. She went through immunotherapy and chemo. Unfortunately, she passed just weeks before her 27th birthday. She left behind two small children and a husband. I share this because doctors need to listen to their patients and not be so quick to dismiss them just because of their age. Had they listened to her when she first started complaining of digestive issues, she may still be with us.
There are genetic diseases that can cause colon cancers. I have one. I am a carrier of Mutyh familial adenoma polypopsis. Get the test if you haven't already. There are many genetic tests for genetic cancers.
You are the first person with cancer I've seen on TH-cam who's doctor handled your symptoms appropriately. I have heard horrendous stories of total flippant indifference by doctors that bordered on criminal, seriously. And I agree that they should do away with age requirements, there are so many young patients whose cancer went too far because they were considered too young to have it. I hope everything continues to go well for you.
If there were 10x the doctors, this wouldn't happen, the main reason they need to act this way is because they are extremely overloaded with patients, and most doctors only have 5 minutes to spend with each patient total. Thus they need to go based on statistical risk percentages and other statistics to make decisions on whether to test further or not based on current symptoms. Also, for many cancers, there is significant overlap in symptoms to MANY MANY common diseases or syndromes. For every 1 person you meet that thought they had cancer and a doctor misdiagnosed them with something else because they are young, there are 999 other young people that thought they had cancer and did not have cancer, and got diagnosed correctly with whatever they did have.
People gotta stop saying things without doing research. You don't think physicians that work in public health and suggest the age limits are affected by cancer or have family members affected by cancer? If it was SAFE to lower the age reccomendation it would happen. Extra scans increase the risk of cancer. Next ppl will be saying the doctors are causing everyone cancer by over scanning.
@@rdizzy1It's not even a matter of time. It's a matter of "you're way too young to have cancer" or "what's been going on in your life?" even though they have persistent symptoms . I mean, what's wrong with just getting testing? Insurance does not want to pay for colonoscopies until you're 45 no matter what it seems.
I agree with you 💯!! The few decent doctors there are , just few and far between. Here in Northern Ireland, its horrendous. By the time you eventually get to see a doctor, l0t's tii late. You are an amazing brave lady ❤️
My husband is a Colon cancer survivor. He was diagnosed at 50 . He had a horrible diagnosis. After his colonoscopy the Dr came out whipped the curtain closed and said not good news not good at all you have cancer . But on a good note He got in wonderful hands from his surgical Dr. Ne needed no bag and is 5 years cancer free thank God ! Prayers for you and your continued recovery
Alarming cancer incidence- lung and colon- for so many young people, ages 20-45. I agree 100% to remove the age requirements to test for cancer. Thank you for sharing your cancer experience. Many more years comparing blood panels with your friend. I hope your husband is feeling better too after his heart surgery.❤
Hello? You are blessed. I started heavy bleeding suddenly. I had surgery for colon cancer and it ended up stage 1 and no lymph nodes or spreading. I didn't get chemo or radiation. I am also blessed. I pray it never comes back for you or anyone. Good luck to you.
You have explained well all the significant events from your first cancer symptoms, through diagnosis, treatments, results, feelings, impact on family, and attitudes and strategies that have gotten you through your colon cancer to the present. Well done. Wishing you all the best.
FYI for anyone having "stomach" problems. Your stomach is just below your sternum and is covered in part by your liver. Anything below about 6" from your sternum is not your stomach. That is where your intestines are, wrapped around the outside by your large intestine. If you have problems down below don't blow it off to upset stomach.
The reason I hung in there and listened was your personality. You have a great personality. At 71 going on 72 I am having some serious health issues and one relates to your video. God bless you! Your calm, cool, matter of fact attitude made me listen to what you had to say. You’re a rare type of person. Thank you❤
Wow... she's had a lot going on to include her husband own open heart surgery.. and i dare to complain about simple shit in my life. This woman is a trooper and she's had a lot on her plate. I pray for her and her family.
Your sense of humor about your situation is amazing. Most people would be totally freaking out but somehow you seem to take bad news with equanimity and are able to focus on what you need to do to get well. You are also very positive and emphasize how lucky you are to be responding to treatment. You are a very impressive person with a lot of strength of character. I think that must be a part of why you have survived so long at stage 4. I wish you well. Thanks for sharing your story.
Your positive attitude and attacking this disease is amazing. I learned a lot watching this and I thank you so much for taking the time to make it. I wish you many years of health and happiness with with your husband and children.
You are amazing. You look amazing. You’ve been through so much and you’re here helping others. Your tenacity and strength shine through. I hope both you and your husband are doing well. ❤
All I can say is thanks Danielle for doing this video!❤-Ive discovered that a lot of the time cancer symptoms can be dismissed by doctors for various reasons so if anyone has symptoms and feels they are from cancer they should definitely be persistent and not allow people to dismiss their symptoms as not important- everyone has to be their own advocate no matter what!❤😊
Thank you for sharing your story. I am so sorry this happened to you. I was recently diagnosed with stage 2 rectal cancer. My treatment is going well so far. Wishing you the best and offering prayers for you and your family.
Your PCP handled that well. Many PCPs would have told someone your age to go home and increase dietary fiber. I’m glad you got the medical help you needed.
My wife just passed away from stage 4 colon cancer went to GI doctor with systems and family history of colon cancer. Doctor did colonoscopy said it was just hemorrhoids. Year later was diagnosed with stage 4 good luck fight the good fight you and your husband are in my prayers
we all live in 3 month increments now. ovarian survivor here diagnosed in 2012🙌🏼 you are so right about being hyper vigilant. i’m scheduled for CT friday and decided not to stress over it💪🏼hate scans on fridays because two extra days waiting for results
You are very brave. I was expecting to get colon cancer since my parents both had cacer of the colon. Instead I got breast cancer and non hodgkins lymphoma. I can understand living in three months increments. I have always been hypervigilent since this cancer because I am a retired nurse. Keep the attitude positive.
My 77y/o hubby has recently been diagnosed with DLBCL, chemo started immediately. I’m 55 y/o and no family history of cancer (husband exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam). I’ve been seeing all of these videos now about people with a sneaky, high-grade cancer diagnosis… I realize I’ve taken my good health for granted. I’m inspired to take better care of myself.
Thank you for making this and for your honesty and integrity. I am very moved and send you my Prayers. May you recover and see grandchildren, who are not yet born, graduate from college. Best wishes from the UK.
Thanks for our story Danielle. My mom passed away from this ... she had a colonoscopy a 3 months b4 she was diagnosed too late--stage 4-cancer. It had spread to her liver and other organs. The dr obviously missed the cancer. Wishing you continued health in the years to come😊☺
I am a colon cancer survivor stage 3 after chemo was done they put a stoma on me with a bag for the rest of my life after the operation the dr. Took sample of liver also cancer so another operation to take half my liver out I’ve been told that I had a spot on my lung so I went to the to see the doctor it’s close to my heart so Iam waiting to see if it gets bigger I also had radiation too Iam 3 years into this journey I go every three months for scan hoping for good results love charlotte
Thank Youso much for posting about Your journey with cancer. Know it hasn’t been easy at all. But My Prayers are with You. We just never know any of Us. You are so strong, and I admire You.
I enjoyed your story. I listen to colon cancer stories although I don't have colon cancer, I have Ulcerative Colitis. I am accustomed to blood work, colonoscopies, sigmoidoscopies, infusions at a cancer center (biologic), and hospitalization. I have had my UC since 2015 and was in pain for years and worn out. Thankfully for the most part, it is in control, but I am and have not been in remission yet. So with Ulcerative Colitis, my chances of getting colon cancer are much greater than someone without UC. I am glad that you are doing good and have a great attitude about it. Prayers that it stays the way it is. Be well!
@@lillymin8982 , I had some very hard times and hospitalized a few times, but now much better. I am still not in remission, but infusions every 4 weeks keep symptoms at bay mostly. The first sign I ever had was blood in my stool. A colonoscopy was ordered a month later and it was confirmed that I had Ulcerative Colitis. It progressed really bad where I had intestinal ulcers upon every spot of my large intestine to my colon and rectum. Very painful. I went through trials of all different medications up to the now biologic, Entyvio. It has been a life saver, but again I am not in clinical remission. Still have inflammation. Luckily new medications are up and coming. Thanks for asking.
Thank you for sharing your story. Like you,I am also diagnosed with. Had surgery 2 days ago. And I’m still waiting for the results of my final pathology. Hoping I’ll get a good news soon. 🙏
God Bless You 🙌❤️. You Have Such A Positive Attitude. I Had A Colonoscopy With 4 Pre Cancerous Polyps And Recently My 25 Year Old Son Has Had Rectal Bleeding And Constipation. His PCP Sent Him For Labs And He's Having A Colonoscopy Because Of My Results. Better Safe Than Sorry!!! My Daughter Is Having Her First Colonoscopy This Year Also Because Of My Results And She's 35. Thank You For Sharing Your Journey. Western Upstate NY Here 💐
I keep thinking, good thing she seems to have good insurance, education, and support system. I’ve cared for so many patients that lacked one or more of those and they never approached her survival time.
I am so glad the treatment is working for you and it’s wonderful that the cancer is stable. Praise the Lord. My cousin wasn’t so lucky and passed away a couple of weeks ago 😭. Wishing you all the best and believe you are handling things very well.
When she said nothing happened much when she did the prep I thought that was weird because with the prep you should eliminate all stool from the bowls I thought immediately she had a blockage of some kind So sorry to hear this. I hope she is doing well and has recovered.
I know this is about colon cancer - and I so much wish you well. I am going to mention mammograms and breast cancer. I never thought I would get this. No family history, etc. So I basically ignored it. Until one day a shadow of light hit my upper chest while getting dressed. I touched it and it was a firm lump. I finally told my husband, who bugged me to get a mammogram. I did indeed have breast cancer. So I had all the tests, had a port placed, did one full round of chemo (had to go to hospital I got so sick!), then surgery, radiation, now on second round of chemo, then an oral hormone blocker. Mammograms won't prevent breast cancer, but the sooner discovered, you may have a lower stage and less treatment. Fortunately, my lymph nodes were negative, and they say I have a great chance of cure. But, I now think you never know. You have been through a lot!
Thanks for sharing. It's so important to let everyone know what is happening to even young or middle age people. I wish you good health. You are A very strong person. Your children and husband are lucky to have you. You just roll with the punches, I know it's hard on them worrying about you to and this helps lessen their stress.
TH-cam chose these videos for me - not sure why, but I have watched a lot. I am in complete awe of the stories these people share with such a calm demeanour, such courage - absolutely incredible. R E S P E C T.
I’m glad you are doing well! It still amazes me how many people don’t go to the Dr right away when something feels off. I’m the dr police in my family because if I haven’t taken myself in or my family in then it would’ve been worse. So even though they don’t always like it, the minute something is off we go to the dr. I’ve even helped friends of mine avoid serious consequences by going to the dr. Better safe than sorry! 😊
My brother got colon cancer at 25 and passed a few years later after he went into remission and when he had to go back to get tested again it came back and spread to his lungs. I wish they tested monthly to check instead of waiting months for rechecks….
Amazing how sweet and resilient you are. I am sure you have your negative moments and feel frustration but you actually sound so matter of fact about everything and fairly positive 😀Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Good luck 🍀 my prayers will now include you and your loved ones🙏🏻🥰
I feel eerily fatigued, in a crushing way I never have before, have stomach pain and severe chronic constipation. Often, even the water from enemas takes days to come out. It’s progressively worse, over a few years. I can’t move or walk, when nothing will come out. They’re telling me I have to prove I have healthy adrenal gland function and no asthma attacks for several months, before they will give anasthesia. Thanks you for sharing this, so I can emphasize specific symptoms that make me think I need one sooner than later! I’m ready to get one, without anasthesia or sedation! I’ve done it before and it was horrible, but life is good!
There’s no way I wouldn’t be getting the test needed-that sounds like many of these stories & if there’s a will there’s a way. I hope you get what you need ASAP if it means going to the ER. At least get a scan ❤
My constipation is increasingly worse tired dizzy think its pots & gluten feels like cement in my gut..not allergic but a sensitivity..so....anyway foods with fiber help..I drink lots of water if try to eat what I used to eat..I pay the price every time..
I so admire your strength, intelligence and bravery in how you have faced this ordeal. You are in my prayers. God bless you, dear lady, your health and family.
Thankyou for telling us about your journey ❤ I'm waiting for specialist for my bowel stomache illness,2019 I began with stomach and bowel pains, been Dr. Tobe told IBS. I year not seen specialist yet 😮 I now feel so down waiting for diagnosis... You are strong lady
Please please get checked out by someone else or pay if you can for tests for 'peace of mind'. I was diagnosed stage 3 breast cancer which has been found in my gastro track and my spine. I have been told for years it was IVS, being a new mum, nothing etc. Finally I moved house, got a new GP Surgery and they finally took me seriously. As she said "we know our bodies best". Even if we can't say what it is, we know something isn't right. Thinking of you, best wishes xx
@@tarat26many thanks ❤ I have telephone appointment next week with specialist team? Cos waiting list is so long to speak to me on my symptoms, NHS is a mess..can I ask how are you doing you getting all treatment you need ..🫂
I too had a recto sigmoid Stage 3c cancer diagnosis 4 years ago. I had a large tumor and more than 7 lymph nodes invaded by tumor cells. My treatment was similar but in a different order. First I had 4 months of IV chemo, my body couldn’t tolerate the full 6 months that was scheduled. Then I had 6 weeks of daily Chemo radiation. Then I had a Low Anterior Resection with an ileostomy. My treatment was called Neoadjuvent. Meaning I had chemo and radiation before surgery. This caused my tumor to shrink dramatically before surgery. In Danielle’s case, I think she could have benefited from a similar sequence of treatments. Perhaps if the tumor was treated with chemo first, it might not have metastasized. Which is totally conjecture on my part. I’ve also learned a recent option for treatment is chemo first followed by wait and watch with frequent scans, thus avoiding surgery, which can have significant long term side effects. A second opinion never hurts. Because of my cancer my children have been told to get colonoscopies at the age of 40. Her reference to what an ostomy is, is a bit inaccurate. With an ileostomy, your small intestine is routed out through your abdominal wall. Some colorectal patients require removal of large portions of the colon or sometimes the entire rectum which requires a colostomy, which routes the large intestine through the abdominal wall. Both are types of an ostomy.
@@pathkris2984 I am still cancer free. I had my latest CT scans in April. I have my last scans scheduled for next April. I was given FOLFOX. I was initially scheduled for 12 cycles but it was ended after 8 due to neuropathy (which has become permanent) and very low platelet counts. I think the standard FOLFOX treatment protocol is now being reduced to 6-8 treatment cycles.
Thank you for sharing your colon cancer stage 4 . You know that I am a cancer patient too colon cancer stage 3 and I have just finished my chemo treatment but better now only with my scan there is nodule on my thyroid but no so significant from the doctor who have done my ultrasound sound and one of my lungs there’s a nodule which is semi solid but doesn’t show any malignancy symptoms . Anyways, I’m on my visit to my Pulmonologist next week, gynecologist today and my colonoscopy on Nov . 6mons after my chemotherapy. I always pray and God is my best Doctor healer.Let’s keep praying for healing and stay positive. Love to hear from you again soon. GodBless you. By the way I live in Europe and our health care system is free. ❤❤ ❤
Please don’t have any survivors guilt. When people die with the same cancer diagnosis as you, it’s purely chance. That’s the scriptural answer to that, my Dear. We are aaLL going to die at some point. What matters is to Be prepared for eternity. Please read I Corinthians 15:1-4 and Ephesians 1:13 KJB. Sending hugs
Thx for sharing. You are very good at sharing the experience in an articulate manner. Thank you sooooo much. Wishing you a long, healthy life. Hugs from me
Oh my gosh yes you are lucky you could still pick your children up from school-doing those normal happy things- maybe that’s partly how you are able to get through all this!! I hope you will live a long time and with fewer interruptions by new cancers!!🌈🌸
Thank you for sharing your story. I went to urgent care today for the same symptoms. Doctor wanted me to go to the ER with a look of concern on his face. I wanted antibiotics thinking I ate something bad. He said he wanted to make sure I was completely tested there. Will be going but I appreciated him not throwing me some pills and sending me home. I wish you never had to go through this. Sending you prayer and love.
Thank you for sharing your story. You were an excellent advocate for yourself & I believe the colonoscopy saved your life. You are such a fighter and it is evident how much you love your family & friends. I think your angel momma is helping you on your journey. Sending many hugs & prayers your way! 💛🙏🏼
Quite a journey Danielle. Very glad you are holding steady. I have been on a 10 year "adventure" with my wife who has stage 4 met breast cancer. Have spent many years studying something I never wanted to know anything about from a mostly scientific perspective 🙂 I will offer a few things for you to consider some of which you may already be aware of. Not meant to be advice but just information sharing. From a very high level cancer rates have dramatically risen over the last 100 ish years. One in two men and nearing one in two women will have to deal with cancer in their lives. Younger and younger people are now afflicted. Cancer is rarely genetic in origin or passed down from parent to child despite what is commonly thought. It is however, in most cases, strongly tied to diet and lifestyle. As consumption of junk food, chemicals and animal products have risen, either in America or other countries, cancer rates, cardio vascular and all manner of other chronic diseases has also risen markedly. It is not, as your Dr said, just bad luck. Cancer is not really a disease, nor is it entirely unpredictable. Cancer is a normal transition of a cell's metabolism from aerobic to anaerobic largely brought on by an inappropriate/toxic micro environment around the cell which is strongly linked to what we eat. Nearly anything we ingest, including food, will "communicate" with your cells and can alter various functions of the cell at various levels including the mitochondria and nuclear DNA. If the cell gets the wrong set of instructions it can alter how it functions in an attempt to survive in what it sees as a hostile environment. Much science bares this out. In the late 1960's, well regarded scientist T Colin Campbell found a strong link between animal derived protein (meat/eggs/dairy) and cancer (esp colon) which has been replicated a number of times since. This relationship does not seem to hold with plant based protein. There can be other drivers of cancer but this is a primary source as animal consumption has risen over the last 100 years with cancer rates. The WHO classifies many animal products as carcinogens for a reason. You did not get cancer because of a lack of chemo or radiation or bad genes or bad luck. Broad studies have shown again and again that a whole plant based (preferable organic/raw) diet as one that thwarts cancer at every level absent junk food, refined carbs, animal products. Adopting such a diet will not resolve your cancer on its own (although it can happen) but it will reorient your "inner terrain" to stop promoting the cancer process. Your tumor is not the disease but only a symptom of a toxic environment. Removing it, while necessary, will not remove the disease process. Chemo and radiation can only do so much. Beyond diet you may also look into fast mimicking diets (Prof Valter Longo), methylene blue, high dose melatonin, high dose IV Vit C, ALA, curcumin, dca and off label drugs (Care Oncology) that block "metabolic pathways" which is the ability of cancer to get food. Cancer is best fought on many fronts all at once. Unfortunately mainstream oncologists are not aware of many scientific findings that can be used as an adjunct to traditional treatment making it much more effective with far fewer side effects and damage to healthy tissue and in many cases resulting in long term resolution. I wish you the best - The Stapler
Dostarlimab cures colorectal cancer. There are many off label drugs listen in a book Jane Maclelland how to starve cancer. The problem is to find a doctor who can prescribe them.
We've been eating meat since prehistoric times, so I'm not sure the consumption of meat is the cause of an increase of cancer. Good quality organic meat is good for you in moderation, processed meat is the main cancer culprit.
@@charlottebruce979 Yes and they ate very little compared to what we generally eat today and did not live very long lives. Eskimos are the best examples of current meat eaters (almost 100% of cals from meat) and they have comparatively short lives and nearly all end up with CVD. Meat eating should be kept to a minimum and not at all with someone with cancer. Dr Campbells work has never been refuted. The link between animal protein/IGF-1 and Mtor is well documented as a stimulator of the cancer process.
i appreciate the scientific perspective. i was raised vegetarian and as of five months ago- i am in my thirties- i’ve started eating meat. high quality red meat. i feel so much better in just a few months and my tests reflect the same. this scientific perspective makes sense to me, but I’m curious about how consuming meat helps some and not others. I wonder if it’s a blood typing thing? Sending healing thoughts to your family!
@@meelahmak Thanks for your thoughtful response and I hope you are doing well. The late/great Dr Nicholas Gonzalez who had fairly good success treating cancer patients without chemo/radiation/surgery did treat a very few who had blood borne cancers with meat. All hard tumors were treated with a vegan diet. He would attempt to balance the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic/para-sympathetic) and also used high dose pancreatic enzymes. He personally knew Dr Atkins (keto like diet) who admitted to Dr Gonzalez that he had to close his cancer clinic after 10 years having virtually no success treating patients with a low carb/high animal based diet. Eliminating sugar is generally a good thing to combat cancer but cancer is very adaptable and will find other sources of nutrients (amino acids/cholesterol...) While I am aware that a meat only diet can alleviate many SAD related issues and you may feel much better on one, I would caution that the preponderance of the evidence shows that animal based protein can drive most cancers in part by creating a high acid friendly environment for cancer as well as over stimulating the growth process, IGF-1, mTtorr also cooking meat creates carcinogenic compounds.....while plants tend to contain many anti cancer compounds. Just something o consider. I wish you well on your journey and hope you find a full recovery. - The Stapler
I suffered from severe stomach pain for years finally a doctor tested me for the H-pylori bacteria and I was positive went through a 14 day treatment. I am so greatful my situation could have turned out differently.
What's your symptoms M also suffering from abdominal pain nd my ultrasound reports says I have gastritis bt after taking so much medicine m not feeling much btr
I have also been diagnosed with hpylori. I’m on my 3rd round of antibiotics for it . Finally I go for colonoscopy and endoscopy November 7th . Can’t get rid of it . Also they did a occult blood test in my stool that came back positive so we shall see what happens I’m worried . I have severe pain in my stomach that goes to my upper back . Burning , burping, hiccups like all the time ugh 😩
@@katiebarquet8783 For the colonoscopy-endoscopy get a pill. It will go through the small intestine, too. It does not require anesthesia and it takes 2 pictures every second. The regular endoscopy-colonoscopy doesn't cover the small intestine.
Just watched your journey, amazing and God bless you. I just had my 4th colonoscopy with no issues yet but have to quickly go back for my 5th. So blessed I live in a place where these are screened and costs covered by our government
Thank you for sharing with everyone your symptoms and experiences with your diagnosis. I am 62, my name is Karla in Oklahoma and I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in my late 20’s. The past few yrs my symptoms have been worse. What is so bad is here in the small community I live in, the Gastroenterologist is lacking so much. I stopped going to her over 1 yr ago, and trying to get in with the next only one, but I know I’ve got to get a colonoscopy and EGD. They put me on Humira, as my markers were really high( full blown active) I tried it for approximately 6 months in which it made my symptoms worse. The only closest City is 1 1/2 hrs away and I refuse to make appt with one there as it’s so hard to depend on someone to take me for my test even here 10 minutes from the hospital. So I’ve kind of given up. Although I know and feel like something is not right. My stools have changed and a lot of abdominal pain and bloating. Thank you once again for sharing your story. May God watch over you and heal your body
Please go to your hospital get checked out if can't get a lift I'm sure someone in your area would take you if not get a taxi you are worth it sending love and prayers 🫶🙏
Thank you for sharing! So much good information. I’m crying over here between all of this and all the one overwhelming stuff you have going on. 😢😮 found your video by accident as I have diverticulitis and the C word was mentioned. Having some bleeding and barely can go to bathroom. Colonoscopy in December and I’m terrified. Daughter is getting married in March. How did they find your liver tumor, Ct scan? Your strength is amazing! Prayers you get well and have a long life with your sweet family. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I've dealt with IBS & other stomach issues like that for many years, now as of Dec 6, 2022 I've been diagnosed with Stage 3 rectal cancer that has went up to Stage 4 due to spreading to my liver & lungs while I was recouping from a heart attack on Dec 4, 2022 & then a stroke on Aug 4, 2023..I went through my radiation treatments while also taking chemo pills at the same time, then went to IV chemo through my port on top of the chemo pills, however after my stroke in Aug I had to stop my IV chemo due to multiple brain bleeds from my stroke. In the short 3 months being off of it my cancer spread to several spots in my liver & several spots in my lungs with me restarting my IV chemo in 2 days..😩 As a mom & gramma it's been really hard to live life in general. My 28 yr old daughter who is a mom to 2, has also been battling non curable cancer since she was 16..
We would love to hear more about your story 👉 www.thepatientstory.com/share-your-story/?TH-cam&
How are you doing as of today? Can they operate and take those tumors out? Thank you for the video

My daughter was diagnosed with advanced stage 3 colon cancer at the age of 25. Doctors didn’t want to do a colonoscopy and were convinced it was diet or stress. She was an athlete and took great care of her body. After many surgeries and twelve rounds of chemo, she had no evidence of disease for about 5 months. Cancer metastasized to advanced peritoneal cancer. She went through immunotherapy and chemo. Unfortunately, she passed just weeks before her 27th birthday. She left behind two small children and a husband.
I share this because doctors need to listen to their patients and not be so quick to dismiss them just because of their age. Had they listened to her when she first started complaining of digestive issues, she may still be with us.
I’m sorry, Karen. 😞
Think it’s time for doctors to be trained to think the worse first no matter age gender
Hi, I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Please could I ask what her symptoms were?
Heartfelt condolences 💔
There are genetic diseases that can cause colon cancers. I have one. I am a carrier of Mutyh familial adenoma polypopsis. Get the test if you haven't already. There are many genetic tests for genetic cancers.
You are the first person with cancer I've seen on TH-cam who's doctor handled your symptoms appropriately. I have heard horrendous stories of total flippant indifference by doctors that bordered on criminal, seriously. And I agree that they should do away with age requirements, there are so many young patients whose cancer went too far because they were considered too young to have it. I hope everything continues to go well for you.
If there were 10x the doctors, this wouldn't happen, the main reason they need to act this way is because they are extremely overloaded with patients, and most doctors only have 5 minutes to spend with each patient total. Thus they need to go based on statistical risk percentages and other statistics to make decisions on whether to test further or not based on current symptoms. Also, for many cancers, there is significant overlap in symptoms to MANY MANY common diseases or syndromes. For every 1 person you meet that thought they had cancer and a doctor misdiagnosed them with something else because they are young, there are 999 other young people that thought they had cancer and did not have cancer, and got diagnosed correctly with whatever they did have.
People gotta stop saying things without doing research. You don't think physicians that work in public health and suggest the age limits are affected by cancer or have family members affected by cancer? If it was SAFE to lower the age reccomendation it would happen. Extra scans increase the risk of cancer. Next ppl will be saying the doctors are causing everyone cancer by over scanning.
@@rdizzy1It's not even a matter of time. It's a matter of "you're way too young to have cancer" or "what's been going on in your life?" even though they have persistent symptoms . I mean, what's wrong with just getting testing? Insurance does not want to pay for colonoscopies until you're 45 no matter what it seems.
I agree with you 💯!! The few decent doctors there are , just few and far between. Here in Northern Ireland, its horrendous. By the time you eventually get to see a doctor, l0t's tii late. You are an amazing brave lady ❤️
It’s the INSURANCE PROTOCOL.. the Drs hands are tied.. they literally can’t order tests.
My husband is a Colon cancer survivor. He was diagnosed at 50 . He had a horrible diagnosis. After his colonoscopy the Dr came out whipped the curtain closed and said not good news not good at all you have cancer . But on a good note He got in wonderful hands from his surgical Dr. Ne needed no bag and is 5 years cancer free thank God ! Prayers for you and your continued recovery
glad to hear that sister .
I'm so happy for you...praying to God for such a miracle to happen in my husband's life too...
Which stage was your husband..
Such a nice person she is . Wishing her all the health and being cancer free soon
Alarming cancer incidence- lung and colon- for so many young people, ages 20-45. I agree 100% to remove the age requirements to test for cancer. Thank you for sharing your cancer experience. Many more years comparing blood panels with your friend. I hope your husband is feeling better too after his heart surgery.❤
Hello? You are blessed. I started heavy bleeding suddenly. I had surgery for colon cancer and it ended up stage 1 and no lymph nodes or spreading. I didn't get chemo or radiation. I am also blessed. I pray it never comes back for you or anyone. Good luck to you.
Did you go for colonoscopy or went directly for surgery?
You have explained well all the significant events from your first cancer symptoms, through diagnosis, treatments, results, feelings, impact on family, and attitudes and strategies that have gotten you through your colon cancer to the present. Well done. Wishing you all the best.
FYI for anyone having "stomach" problems. Your stomach is just below your sternum and is covered in part by your liver. Anything below about 6" from your sternum is not your stomach. That is where your intestines are, wrapped around the outside by your large intestine. If you have problems down below don't blow it off to upset stomach.
The reason I hung in there and listened was your personality. You have a great personality. At 71 going on 72 I am having some serious health issues and one relates to your video. God bless you! Your calm, cool, matter of fact attitude made me listen to what you had to say. You’re a rare type of person. Thank you❤
Wow... she's had a lot going on to include her husband own open heart surgery.. and i dare to complain about simple shit in my life. This woman is a trooper and she's had a lot on her plate. I pray for her and her family.
Your sense of humor about your situation is amazing. Most people would be totally freaking out but somehow you seem to take bad news with equanimity and are able to focus on what you need to do to get well. You are also very positive and emphasize how lucky you are to be responding to treatment. You are a very impressive person with a lot of strength of character. I think that must be a part of why you have survived so long at stage 4. I wish you well. Thanks for sharing your story.
Your positive attitude and attacking this disease is amazing. I learned a lot watching this and I thank you so much for taking the time to make it. I wish you many years of health and happiness with with your husband and children.
The testing restrictions for all cancers should be lifted.
Insurance will never let that happen.
I agree! But we have a health care system that profits on our suffering so it’s not going to happen unless we have universal healthcare
Wow! How kind of you to share your cancer story. Thank you for this!
You are amazing. You look amazing. You’ve been through so much and you’re here helping others. Your tenacity and strength shine through. I hope both you and your husband are doing well. ❤
All I can say is thanks Danielle for doing this video!❤-Ive discovered that a lot of the time cancer symptoms can be dismissed by doctors for various reasons so if anyone has symptoms and feels they are from cancer they should definitely be persistent and not allow people to dismiss their symptoms as not important- everyone has to be their own advocate no matter what!❤😊
Thank you for sharing your story, you have been through so much. I hope you beat it, once and for all!
Thank you for sharing your story. I am so sorry this happened to you. I was recently diagnosed with stage 2 rectal cancer. My treatment is going well so far. Wishing you the best and offering prayers for you and your family.
@onemishelle Are you on the new wonder drug Dostarlimab that cured 14 patients of rectal cancer? If not, find out about it. Wishing you well
Did u have similar symptoms
Hi Mishelle. What were your symptoms?
Your PCP handled that well. Many PCPs would have told someone your age to go home and increase dietary fiber. I’m glad you got the medical help you needed.
My wife just passed away from stage 4 colon cancer went to GI doctor with systems and family history of colon cancer. Doctor did colonoscopy said it was just hemorrhoids. Year later was diagnosed with stage 4 good luck fight the good fight you and your husband are in my prayers
Sorry for your loss. The doctor confused cancer for hemorrhoids??
So sorry for your loss..:( I lost my sweet Mother to Colin cancer at age 22! It sucks still 33 years later.
Be kind to yourself & best to you
So sorry for your loss
@ryanj5288 I am curious about that too..how is that even possible? I hope he spoke to a lawyer about that.Sad
@@daybyday0731I have a hard time believing this story as stated. However, it could be that she had hemorrhoids and the doctor missed the polyp.
You are such a strong woman!! I pray for your continued success in beating this! Thank you for sharing your story. Much love and respect.
we all live in 3 month increments now. ovarian survivor here diagnosed in 2012🙌🏼
you are so right about being hyper vigilant. i’m scheduled for CT friday and decided not to stress over it💪🏼hate scans on fridays because two extra days waiting for results
🙏
God bless you 🙏
Are you cancer free now
@@shanthakumari1627 i am! 😊
You are very brave. I was expecting to get colon cancer since my parents both had cacer of the colon. Instead I got breast cancer and non hodgkins lymphoma. I can understand living in three months increments. I have always been hypervigilent since this cancer because I am a retired nurse. Keep the attitude positive.
My 77y/o hubby has recently been diagnosed with DLBCL, chemo started immediately. I’m 55 y/o and no family history of cancer (husband exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam). I’ve been seeing all of these videos now about people with a sneaky, high-grade cancer diagnosis… I realize I’ve taken my good health for granted. I’m inspired to take better care of myself.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m a stage 3 cancer survivor. God bless you fellow warrior.
Thank you for making this and for your honesty and integrity.
I am very moved and send you my Prayers.
May you recover and see grandchildren, who are not yet born, graduate from college.
Best wishes from the UK.
Wishing u well from Republic of Ireland. Thank for sharing ur story ❤️
Thanks for our story Danielle. My mom passed away from this ... she had a colonoscopy a 3 months b4 she was diagnosed too late--stage 4-cancer. It had spread to her liver and other organs. The dr obviously missed the cancer. Wishing you continued health in the years to come😊☺
That's terrible. So sorry this happened to your mom & your family
I am a colon cancer survivor stage 3 after chemo was done they put a stoma on me with a bag for the rest of my life after the operation the dr. Took sample of liver also cancer so another operation to take half my liver out I’ve been told that I had a spot on my lung so I went to the to see the doctor it’s close to my heart so Iam waiting to see if it gets bigger I also had radiation too Iam 3 years into this journey I go every three months for scan hoping for good results love charlotte
❤
What an inspiring woman. Wow. Praying for her healing & recovery.
Thank Youso much for posting about Your journey with cancer. Know it hasn’t been easy at all. But My Prayers are with You. We just never know any of Us. You are so strong, and I admire You.
The MOST positive person I have ever seen in my life. Wao!
You are amazing. I hope you continue to have success in your treatment. I wish you good health.
I enjoyed your story. I listen to colon cancer stories although I don't have colon cancer, I have Ulcerative Colitis. I am accustomed to blood work, colonoscopies, sigmoidoscopies, infusions at a cancer center (biologic), and hospitalization. I have had my UC since 2015 and was in pain for years and worn out. Thankfully for the most part, it is in control, but I am and have not been in remission yet. So with Ulcerative Colitis, my chances of getting colon cancer are much greater than someone without UC. I am glad that you are doing good and have a great attitude about it. Prayers that it stays the way it is. Be well!
How did you get diagnosed?
Colonoscopy after seeing blood. Only a colonoscopy can determine Crohn's or Colitis and pathology of a biopsy.
@@journey2k299
Have you been ok? What did you experience when you got diagnosed with UC
@@lillymin8982 , I had some very hard times and hospitalized a few times, but now much better. I am still not in remission, but infusions every 4 weeks keep symptoms at bay mostly. The first sign I ever had was blood in my stool. A colonoscopy was ordered a month later and it was confirmed that I had Ulcerative Colitis. It progressed really bad where I had intestinal ulcers upon every spot of my large intestine to my colon and rectum. Very painful. I went through trials of all different medications up to the now biologic, Entyvio. It has been a life saver, but again I am not in clinical remission. Still have inflammation. Luckily new medications are up and coming. Thanks for asking.
Hi Mich. What are/were your symptoms?
All of the posts I am reading, I am praying for all of you. Hope your journey to remission is successful.
Thank you for sharing your story. Like you,I am also diagnosed with. Had surgery 2 days ago. And I’m still waiting for the results of my final pathology. Hoping I’ll get a good news soon. 🙏
How's it going?
how are you now?
Are you cancer free
God Bless You 🙌❤️. You Have Such A Positive Attitude. I Had A Colonoscopy With 4 Pre Cancerous Polyps And Recently My 25 Year Old Son Has Had Rectal Bleeding And Constipation. His PCP Sent Him For Labs And He's Having A Colonoscopy Because Of My Results. Better Safe Than Sorry!!! My Daughter Is Having Her First Colonoscopy This Year Also Because Of My Results And She's 35. Thank You For Sharing Your Journey. Western Upstate NY Here 💐
Hey sorry for the late reply,
How did your son's colonoscopy go?
I keep thinking, good thing she seems to have good insurance, education, and support system. I’ve cared for so many patients that lacked one or more of those and they never approached her survival time.
I am so glad the treatment is working for you and it’s wonderful that the cancer is stable. Praise the Lord. My cousin wasn’t so lucky and passed away a couple of weeks ago 😭. Wishing you all the best and believe you are handling things very well.
I am so sorry. God bless you and yours.
@@sarahcrain8083 🙏❤️
I'm so sorry for the loss of your cousin. My friend passed from colon cancer in May after a nearly 6 year battle. She was only 33 😭😭
🫶🏽
When she said nothing happened much when she did the prep I thought that was weird because with the prep you should eliminate all stool from the bowls I thought immediately she had a blockage of some kind
So sorry to hear this. I hope she is doing well and has recovered.
Sounds like you have a very resilient system - great stuff!!
I hope you're feeling better. May 2020 I have lost someone to Colon Cancer. Cancer sucks
I know this is about colon cancer - and I so much wish you well. I am going to mention mammograms and breast cancer. I never thought I would get this. No family history, etc. So I basically ignored it. Until one day a shadow of light hit my upper chest while getting dressed. I touched it and it was a firm lump. I finally told my husband, who bugged me to get a mammogram. I did indeed have breast cancer. So I had all the tests, had a port placed, did one full round of chemo (had to go to hospital I got so sick!), then surgery, radiation, now on second round of chemo, then an oral hormone blocker. Mammograms won't prevent breast cancer, but the sooner discovered, you may have a lower stage and less treatment. Fortunately, my lymph nodes were negative, and they say I have a great chance of cure. But, I now think you never know. You have been through a lot!
Thanks for sharing. It's so important to let everyone know what is happening to even young or middle age people. I wish you good health. You are A very strong person. Your children and husband are lucky to have you. You just roll with the punches, I know it's hard on them worrying about you to and this helps lessen their stress.
TH-cam chose these videos for me - not sure why, but I have watched a lot. I am in complete awe of the stories these people share with such a calm demeanour, such courage - absolutely incredible. R E S P E C T.
I’m glad you are doing well! It still amazes me how many people don’t go to the Dr right away when something feels off. I’m the dr police in my family because if I haven’t taken myself in or my family in then it would’ve been worse. So even though they don’t always like it, the minute something is off we go to the dr. I’ve even helped friends of mine avoid serious consequences by going to the dr.
Better safe than sorry! 😊
My brother got colon cancer at 25 and passed a few years later after he went into remission and when he had to go back to get tested again it came back and spread to his lungs. I wish they tested monthly to check instead of waiting months for rechecks….
What were symptoms
I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏😔
Hello you r from india
Bolo@@priyanka...sharma
Amazing how sweet and resilient you are. I am sure you have your negative moments and feel frustration but you actually sound so matter of fact about everything and fairly positive 😀Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Good luck 🍀
my prayers will now include you and your loved ones🙏🏻🥰
Thank you for putting this all out there. I pray you keep strong and healthy. People need to tell & hear these experiences. God Bless you!❤
I feel eerily fatigued, in a crushing way I never have before, have stomach pain and severe chronic constipation. Often, even the water from enemas takes days to come out. It’s progressively worse, over a few years. I can’t move or walk, when nothing will come out. They’re telling me I have to prove I have healthy adrenal gland function and no asthma attacks for several months, before they will give anasthesia. Thanks you for sharing this, so I can emphasize specific symptoms that make me think I need one sooner than later! I’m ready to get one, without anasthesia or sedation! I’ve done it before and it was horrible, but life is good!
I get that fatigue too. Uterine and ovarian cancer
There’s no way I wouldn’t be getting the test needed-that sounds like many of these stories & if there’s a will there’s a way. I hope you get what you need ASAP if it means going to the ER. At least get a scan ❤
Whatever happened?? I pray you got the colonoscopy!
My constipation is increasingly worse tired dizzy think its pots & gluten feels like cement in my gut..not allergic but a sensitivity..so....anyway foods with fiber help..I drink lots of water if try to eat what I used to eat..I pay the price every time..
You have received many beautiful blessings!!! Continue being so positive because they say it helps your recuperation 🙏🏼 THankYou for sharing🥰
My gosh you’re very brave. I hope all goes well going forward. You’ve been through so much.
So happy that you're doing great. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Yep colon cancer has no age limit, I was diagnosed @ 37yrs old. It was stage3 .
How are you now ?

Thankyou for telling us about your journey ❤ I'm waiting for specialist for my bowel stomache illness,2019 I began with stomach and bowel pains, been Dr. Tobe told IBS. I year not seen specialist yet 😮 I now feel so down waiting for diagnosis... You are strong lady
Please please get checked out by someone else or pay if you can for tests for 'peace of mind'. I was diagnosed stage 3 breast cancer which has been found in my gastro track and my spine. I have been told for years it was IVS, being a new mum, nothing etc. Finally I moved house, got a new GP Surgery and they finally took me seriously. As she said "we know our bodies best". Even if we can't say what it is, we know something isn't right. Thinking of you, best wishes xx

A living hero! Wow! You don't seem scared! Im terrified I have this but I don't want to get checked because I don't have the will like you
Cut the sugar and carbs do some fasting . No fruits!
Get checked! Please!
why no fruit? doesn't it provide fiber?
@@fernfunk because it contains fructose even though is natrual is still fructose and it feeds cancer
I too had a recto sigmoid Stage 3c cancer diagnosis 4 years ago. I had a large tumor and more than 7 lymph nodes invaded by tumor cells. My treatment was similar but in a different order. First I had 4 months of IV chemo, my body couldn’t tolerate the full 6 months that was scheduled. Then I had 6 weeks of daily Chemo radiation. Then I had a Low Anterior Resection with an ileostomy. My treatment was called Neoadjuvent. Meaning I had chemo and radiation before surgery. This caused my tumor to shrink dramatically before surgery. In Danielle’s case, I think she could have benefited from a similar sequence of treatments. Perhaps if the tumor was treated with chemo first, it might not have metastasized. Which is totally conjecture on my part. I’ve also learned a recent option for treatment is chemo first followed by wait and watch with frequent scans, thus avoiding surgery, which can have significant long term side effects. A second opinion never hurts. Because of my cancer my children have been told to get colonoscopies at the age of 40. Her reference to what an ostomy is, is a bit inaccurate. With an ileostomy, your small intestine is routed out through your abdominal wall. Some colorectal patients require removal of large portions of the colon or sometimes the entire rectum which requires a colostomy, which routes the large intestine through the abdominal wall. Both are types of an ostomy.
How are you doing now? Is the cancer under control? Also in the initial chemo did you go through the Folfox or Folfirinox regimen? Thanks.
@@pathkris2984 I am still cancer free. I had my latest CT scans in April. I have my last scans scheduled for next April. I was given FOLFOX. I was initially scheduled for 12 cycles but it was ended after 8 due to neuropathy (which has become permanent) and very low platelet counts. I think the standard FOLFOX treatment protocol is now being reduced to 6-8 treatment cycles.
You look so young and beautiful! I can’t believe you’ve been through all that!
Thank you for sharing your colon cancer stage 4 . You know that I am a cancer patient too colon cancer stage 3 and I have just finished my chemo treatment but better now only with my scan there is nodule on my thyroid but no so significant from the doctor who have done my ultrasound sound and one of my lungs there’s a nodule which is semi solid but doesn’t show any malignancy symptoms . Anyways, I’m on my visit to my Pulmonologist next week, gynecologist today and my colonoscopy on Nov . 6mons after my chemotherapy. I always pray and God is my best Doctor healer.Let’s keep praying for healing and stay positive. Love to hear from you again soon. GodBless you. By the way I live in Europe and our health care system is free. ❤❤ ❤
Hope you continue to do well ❤️from Scotland
Please don’t have any survivors guilt. When people die with the same cancer diagnosis as you, it’s purely chance. That’s the scriptural answer to that, my Dear.
We are aaLL going to die at some point. What matters is to
Be prepared for eternity. Please read I Corinthians 15:1-4 and Ephesians 1:13 KJB. Sending hugs
Keep praying as well and God is a God of great miracles

It's sad that younger and younger people are getting colon cancer. It's mostly because of the crappy food that is consumed these days
Crappy food chemicals plastics etc
Thank you for sharing your story. I went to urgent care today for the same symptoms. Doctor wanted me to go to the ER with a look of concern on his face. I wanted antibiotics thinking I ate something bad. He said he wanted to make sure I was completely tested there. Will be going but I appreciated him not throwing me some pills and sending me home. I wish you never had to go through this. Sending you prayer and love.

Quite a journey Danielle. Very glad you are holding steady. I have been on a 10 year "adventure" with my wife who has stage 4 met breast cancer. Have spent many years studying something I never wanted to know anything about from a mostly scientific perspective 🙂 I will offer a few things for you to consider some of which you may already be aware of. Not meant to be advice but just information sharing. From a very high level cancer rates have dramatically risen over the last 100 ish years. One in two men and nearing one in two women will have to deal with cancer in their lives. Younger and younger people are now afflicted. Cancer is rarely genetic in origin or passed down from parent to child despite what is commonly thought. It is however, in most cases, strongly tied to diet and lifestyle. As consumption of junk food, chemicals and animal products have risen, either in America or other countries, cancer rates, cardio vascular and all manner of other chronic diseases has also risen markedly. It is not, as your Dr said, just bad luck.
Cancer is not really a disease, nor is it entirely unpredictable. Cancer is a normal transition of a cell's metabolism from aerobic to anaerobic largely brought on by an inappropriate/toxic micro environment around the cell which is strongly linked to what we eat. Nearly anything we ingest, including food, will "communicate" with your cells and can alter various functions of the cell at various levels including the mitochondria and nuclear DNA. If the cell gets the wrong set of instructions it can alter how it functions in an attempt to survive in what it sees as a hostile environment. Much science bares this out.
In the late 1960's, well regarded scientist T Colin Campbell found a strong link between animal derived protein (meat/eggs/dairy) and cancer (esp colon) which has been replicated a number of times since. This relationship does not seem to hold with plant based protein. There can be other drivers of cancer but this is a primary source as animal consumption has risen over the last 100 years with cancer rates. The WHO classifies many animal products as carcinogens for a reason.
You did not get cancer because of a lack of chemo or radiation or bad genes or bad luck. Broad studies have shown again and again that a whole plant based (preferable organic/raw) diet as one that thwarts cancer at every level absent junk food, refined carbs, animal products. Adopting such a diet will not resolve your cancer on its own (although it can happen) but it will reorient your "inner terrain" to stop promoting the cancer process.
Your tumor is not the disease but only a symptom of a toxic environment. Removing it, while necessary, will not remove the disease process. Chemo and radiation can only do so much. Beyond diet you may also look into fast mimicking diets (Prof Valter Longo), methylene blue, high dose melatonin, high dose IV Vit C, ALA, curcumin, dca and off label drugs (Care Oncology) that block "metabolic pathways" which is the ability of cancer to get food. Cancer is best fought on many fronts all at once. Unfortunately mainstream oncologists are not aware of many scientific findings that can be used as an adjunct to traditional treatment making it much more effective with far fewer side effects and damage to healthy tissue and in many cases resulting in long term resolution.
I wish you the best - The Stapler
Dostarlimab cures colorectal cancer. There are many off label drugs listen in a book Jane Maclelland how to starve cancer. The problem is to find a doctor who can prescribe them.
We've been eating meat since prehistoric times, so I'm not sure the consumption of meat is the cause of an increase of cancer. Good quality organic meat is good for you in moderation, processed meat is the main cancer culprit.
@@charlottebruce979 Yes and they ate very little compared to what we generally eat today and did not live very long lives. Eskimos are the best examples of current meat eaters (almost 100% of cals from meat) and they have comparatively short lives and nearly all end up with CVD. Meat eating should be kept to a minimum and not at all with someone with cancer. Dr Campbells work has never been refuted. The link between animal protein/IGF-1 and Mtor is well documented as a stimulator of the cancer process.
i appreciate the scientific perspective. i was raised vegetarian and as of five months ago- i am in my thirties- i’ve started eating meat. high quality red meat. i feel so much better in just a few months and my tests reflect the same. this scientific perspective makes sense to me, but I’m curious about how consuming meat helps some and not others. I wonder if it’s a blood typing thing? Sending healing thoughts to your family!
@@meelahmak Thanks for your thoughtful response and I hope you are doing well. The late/great Dr Nicholas Gonzalez who had fairly good success treating cancer patients without chemo/radiation/surgery did treat a very few who had blood borne cancers with meat. All hard tumors were treated with a vegan diet. He would attempt to balance the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic/para-sympathetic) and also used high dose pancreatic enzymes. He personally knew Dr Atkins (keto like diet) who admitted to Dr Gonzalez that he had to close his cancer clinic after 10 years having virtually no success treating patients with a low carb/high animal based diet. Eliminating sugar is generally a good thing to combat cancer but cancer is very adaptable and will find other sources of nutrients (amino acids/cholesterol...) While I am aware that a meat only diet can alleviate many SAD related issues and you may feel much better on one, I would caution that the preponderance of the evidence shows that animal based protein can drive most cancers in part by creating a high acid friendly environment for cancer as well as over stimulating the growth process, IGF-1, mTtorr also cooking meat creates carcinogenic compounds.....while plants tend to contain many anti cancer compounds. Just something o consider. I wish you well on your journey and hope you find a full recovery. - The Stapler

For the colonoscopy-endoscopy get a pill. It will go through the small intestine, too. It does not require anesthesia and it takes 2 pictures every second. The regular endoscopy-colonoscopy doesn't cover the small intestine.

Thank you for sharing. What was your list of symptoms?
Thank you for sharing with everyone your symptoms and experiences with your diagnosis. I am 62, my name is Karla in Oklahoma and I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in my late 20’s. The past few yrs my symptoms have been worse. What is so bad is here in the small community I live in, the Gastroenterologist is lacking so much. I stopped going to her over 1 yr ago, and trying to get in with the next only one, but I know I’ve got to get a colonoscopy and EGD. They put me on Humira, as my markers were really high( full blown active) I tried it for approximately 6 months in which it made my symptoms worse. The only closest City is 1 1/2 hrs away and I refuse to make appt with one there as it’s so hard to depend on someone to take me for my test even here 10 minutes from the hospital. So I’ve kind of given up. Although I know and feel like something is not right. My stools have changed and a lot of abdominal pain and bloating. Thank you once again for sharing your story. May God watch over you and heal your body

I've dealt with IBS & other stomach issues like that for many years, now as of Dec 6, 2022 I've been diagnosed with Stage 3 rectal cancer that has went up to Stage 4 due to spreading to my liver & lungs while I was recouping from a heart attack on Dec 4, 2022 & then a stroke on Aug 4, 2023..I went through my radiation treatments while also taking chemo pills at the same time, then went to IV chemo through my port on top of the chemo pills, however after my stroke in Aug I had to stop my IV chemo due to multiple brain bleeds from my stroke. In the short 3 months being off of it my cancer spread to several spots in my liver & several spots in my lungs with me restarting my IV chemo in 2 days..😩 As a mom & gramma it's been really hard to live life in general. My 28 yr old daughter who is a mom to 2, has also been battling non curable cancer since she was 16..
