Colon Cancer Signs
According to dad’s surgeon (dad has colon cancer), dad’s cancer was already 2 years old, so we should have seen the red flags in stead of thinking that dad had yet another food poisoning…
Dad is my biological dad, father who died from metastatic liver cancer is hubby’s father…
- Dad was chronically constipated (due to the tumor that was blocking the colon), but you only see for sure on a colonoscopy
- And suddenly he has severe diarrhea
- father was in pain (his GP doctor gave him Celebrex, and as far as I know that’s used as a painkiller when you have arthritis…)
- severe bleeding in his stool (GP doctor said that most likely is caused by piles)
90% of colon cancer symptoms are found in those 50 yrs of age or older, so that’s why for colon cancer prevention you should get a colonoscopy.
Now colonoscopy is quite mediaeval in my point of view…that’s why they should make virtual colonoscopy more accessible to me and you!!! (but that would kill the industry that invented the good old mediaeval colonoscopy, so that’s not an option to consider is it????)

[...] Googling things up I was very surprised to hear about Celebrex again (see Colon Cancer Signs) [...]
