First colon cancer warning sign

The problem with the poop in a box usually by then if you have blood in your stool it can be too late. Better to have the colonoscopy and find it early. I've had 3 and as long you tell them to dope you up good its not that big of a deal. The worst part is the night before with the fleet bowel cleanser.

 

The age has been lowered to 45 for everybody regardless of history. Cancers of all types are on the rise in younger people than was the case 20 & 20+ years ago. That 8% chance of missing something might be a polyp that only a colostomy would detect. It's not worth the risk doing that test alone that's an awful kind of cancer to die from. It got my sister in law at 47 years old.

 

Your intensive knowledge is why I'm here. I'm sure it's the whole turd and nothing but the turd.

 

Since Covid, cancer has spun out of control, and it’s not just a rate that people are getting cancer is the rate at which they are dying from it. It’s often referred to as “turbo cancer“ people are getting cancer and they used to have a fighting chance or a 2 to 3 year survival rate they are dead in weeks or months now. Something is definitely amiss. I find it odd that these extraordinarily, leaping cancer rates, coincide with the advancement of automation of basically everything coming in the next decade. Makes one wonder and think.

 

Has the cancer rate really gone up ? Are we just more aware of it, plus people never talked about colon cancer much. It’s something people are more open about vs in that past it was never talked about because of shame or being embarrassed. The food we are eating today is not helping. They say we have traces of plastic in like all body parts today.

 

Even if this figure is accurate, that's a lot of false negatives. If you have health insurance, just get the colonoscopy. Yes, the day-before prep isn't pleasant, but if there's no family history or other factors, it's one day every ten years. You can handle it.

A very close friend died of colon cancer in his mid-60s. It's infuriating to think he should have had another twenty years if they had found it earlier.

 

BINGO! I remember as a kid, suddenly, someone would die, and it was listed as "natural causes". If it was their poopy hole, we never knew about it. We never gave it another thought. Not sure about the plastic, like traces of bug feces on strawberries, I was in the food business for many years, and am confident our food is generally safe, I get almost DAILY food recalls, so the system must be working. I say, with modern research, cancer has actually gone down some, but come on, like Carter Pewterschmidt said, "there's more money in treating it, than curing it". The "ACS" has been around for 111 years, and they haven't cured anything.

 

Well, most of us if we lived long enough will face cancer in our lifetime. I think it’s now one and three people by the age of 60 will battle potentially terminal cancer. So yes, I think it’s increased but I think more than that it’s increased at the speed in which it’s killing people. I kind of subscribe to the theory having done quite a bit of research that most all of us have cancer cells already in our body. Cancer in of itself is actually kind of a simple concept. It’s stopping it that’s complex. I think, as we do things to our body and live a lifestyle a certain way it starts opening a pathway for the cancer to thrive. A bad diet in a seditary lifestyle, eating lots of sugar and things like that seem to be like adding fuel to it. This is one positive aspect of artificial intelligence they say, in another 10 years, basically most all cancer should be beaten with the technology and knowledge they gain from it. We shall see.
