- Amanda was a healthy, strong woman with an active family and an overloaded schedule. When she started feeling vague feelings of bloating and stomach discomfort, she saw her doctor. Treatment began and precious time went by but her symptoms did not improve because her diagnosis was incorrect. It was a terrible shock when she learned that she had colorectal cancer and the race was on to employ new technologies that are now at the forefront in both diagnosing and treating cancer.

This lady's approach to her cancer, and her doctor's approach, is exactly right. Pursue every treatment that buys you time, do not give up on treatment. Even if you have been told that your cancer is stage 4, and "terminal", continue to pursue treatment. This is because novel treatments are coming down the pike so rapidly, that the one that could cure you could be just around the corner. There is tremendous hope in the world of evolving cancer research and treatments, do not give up! Take your life one day at a time, and keep your hope alive!
The question is why are so many people now being diagnosed younger than 50 with colon rectal cancer?. Is it our food. Chemicals in the food?
Yes that’s one of the leading factors . Too many processed foods overloads your organs .
Yes and what they are spraying to in the sky! That’s why there is a rise in dementia and Colon cancer and especially in young ones too.
It’s called depopulation
Add to that list the Covid jab
@@rmf2941the increases of colon cancer in people under age 50 was occurring well before the covid vaccination. If the vaccination was the cause then one would expect to see rising colon cancer rates in all ages.
My Mom died of Colorectal Cancer.
I wonder what symptoms she had as I have pain in my lower abdomen, which could be in 1 of 3 places, but I can't afford to see each speciality 😢
Keeping you in my prayers. You look great and you have a beautiful family. God bless
I pray she is still doing well.
Ma'am you have a loving support system in your family. Lots & lots of positive energy. I truly wish you a very happy & healthy long life. Bless you.
Had a PA order lab tests one year ago.... discovered I was newly anemic. Ninety days prior normal labs. He asked if I had made any diet changes to which I said no. He then concluded it was a nutritional or dietary anemia 🙄. His willingness to only follow their stupid guidelines allowed me to go undiagnosed for six additional months making my cancer stage 3.
Thank you Amanda and family for sharing your painful experiences. I wish you all the very best.
Sending lots of prayers and love ❤️
Just lost my cousin to colon cancer that spread to her liver.
How much it was on liver?
If I could, I would trade your cousin places.
Y90 radiation
Whatever THAT means. I’m sure you know far more than scientists and oncologists working on learning more about the causes of various colon cancers. /s
