I am a stage 4 colon cancer survivor. I was 37 when I received my diagnoses after going on my own for a colonoscopy. 3 years, a lot of surgery, and chemo I am CANCER FREE!! Positive attitude is key. Thank you for sharing your story
Evidence are showing, overuse of antibiotics, specifically sulfonamides/trimethoprim are contributing to the increasing rate of colon cancer in young people. I sometimes wonder if it is the cause in many of these diagnoses.
Yes: antibiotics ,alcohol, red meat are very bad for colon, it's pretty well documented. These are so widespread in the western world that it is no surprise colon cancer is increasing.
I'll be praying for you. I'm a stage 4 colon cancer patient as well. In August 2021 I was rushed to the hospital because I hadn't been feeling well, lost over 40lbs in less than a month, stomach cramps and blood in my stool. I didn't get checked out because a few years earlier I had been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome and just thought that's what it was. They ran tests and found out that I have stage 4 colon cancer and did surgery to relocate my colon. The doctors told me the next morning that they didn't expect me to live 2 years but I told them that I was going to prove them wrong. I'm on my second round of chemo treatments because I did radiation treatments which caused the cancer to grow and spread. I'm not giving up and I'm going to beat this cancer and so will you!!
I'm 68 and have had Crohn's Disease since 1976 when it was an almost unknown disease. I believe one in two or three million had it back than. Now all you see are medications for Crohn's. I've had absolutely no medical problems for the past 38 years, until about July/August 2023, when I began to have mucus discharge. I had a colonoscopy in November and was diagnosed with stage 3 rectum cancer. I'll be starting chemotherapy and radiation treatments within the next week or so. Please pray and wish me well.
I know my husband was diagnosed with colorectal cancer stage 3. He did everything. And now it is back on his lungs and abdominal wall. 😢please pray 🙏 .
@@alphaomega1351its ok if you don’t believe in them personally. Everyone doesn’t feel the same. I think miracles are very subjective depending on who you ask.
I never had one single sign of any of this. I had watched Dr. Oz who had had a colonoscopy where 3 polyps were found. At age 70 i had never had a colonoscopy, but decided maybe I should have one. Mine turned up a cancerous tumor, which was removed. I never had chemo, or any other treatment. I was lucky to have had no further problems, at 13 years now. Thank God!
All of these cancer patients are no unfortunate coincidence. We are living in a toxic environment and culture. I pray that you and your family are doing well.
That is true. An unfortunately part of that "toxic environment" was wrong medical practice with the whole Corona virus thing. I won't use the "V" word.
@@susanwoywood6334 and prayers don't work...plus I hate people commenting my prayers are with you...but if you know them they just go straight up to bed without even praying for those people they say they pray for them...This stupid my prayers are just normal comment on social media.
Why does that bother YOU? @@JDIY2023 Some people believe in Prayer. Their Beliefs. You don't have to like it or tell them what you think about Prayer. Just ignore them.
When you are given something so concrete, you have no choice but to accept it and move on with the help pf medical professionals to do their job; and you do your job by starting and living a healthy lifestyle: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Eat pure, clean fresh foods, exercise, believe in the higher powers destiny for you, spread love abd accept love, do good everyday.
@@gotcha4054 That is correct But not everybody would follow your statement only a handful. One example, I remember a news that a "celebrity" few year back was diagnosed with brain cancer and he quickly when and jump out the Golden Bridge.
I'm going through same problem with you. I'm doing chemotherapy every two weeks for 3 years now. God is with me always,so I'm not worried or scared about this.
I will pray for this speedy recovery 🙏 Amen..my husband is also diagnosed with colon cancer stage4.The faith on God is tremendously growing day by day..
8 months ago I had stage 1 colon cancer….i was 50. They removed the polyp but 2 months later they decided to do another biopsy to make sure they got it all. They did get it all, however my colon was perforated by the procedure so I had to have a colon resection and emergency ostomy. I have a huge hernia. I get my reversal and hernia repair January 30, 2024 then 2 months later I will need a colonoscopy to make sure cancer hasn’t returned. Praying for you, stay strong! So glad you advocated for your health ❤️🙏
I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer - that spread to my lymph nodes a year and a half ago. I had the surgery to remove the tumor and went through chemo. It was a dificult journey, but like you, I continue to receive amazing medical care and feel very blessed. Wishing you the best.
How are you now ,has the cancer gone?same thing with my relative but he has not gone through chemo yet ,,but tumour removed surgically?kindly anything yo think is vital ....thank you ....best wishes
When I first was told how serious it was, drs said how’s you home and financial life, if these two are positive it seems the chance to fight increases drastically I’m thankful every single morning
I'm so happy for you God is good I just recently had a lower anterior resection going on 5 weeks recovery now I'm cancer free and I pray in the name of Jesus it stays that way! Thank you for sharing your story❤
I learned from experience that you have to put some drama and exaggerate symptoms in order for physicians take you seriously, otherwise they say you're fine and let you go. Thank you for pist this video and God blessed you❤
What an amazing story, thank you so much. My mom died of bone cancer when I was young. I am so grateful to hear that you're doing so well. I am going to get a colonoscopy now. I'll pray for you!!!
As someone with crohns and family who suffered with colon cancer my heart goes out to you. It is not easy and it takes a toll on everyone. You did not deserve this. I'm so sorry you have to experience this.
God bless you sweetie, God is good and merciful, I have been in recession now for 2 years after being diagnosed with level 4 endometrial cancer. May God continue healing your body and give you a long life🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m so happy for you, that after so much suffering (physically and emotionally), your stage IV cancer became stage I. I didn’t know that was possible. I wonder whether a lot of pain would’ve been averted had you gotten a second opinion on the advisability of not removing the tumor (or as much of it as possible) right away. Well, hindsight is 20/20. It was sad to see a young woman having to go through such an ordeal, and delightful to hear how well you’re doing. I wish you everything good.
So sorry prayers for your husband, for you and your family stay strong and positive 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I lost my husband last year and life is so much harder without him 🥺💔
Thanks for sharing your story and advocating for screening for younger people. I'm 51 now but had bloating in my 20s and a colonoscopy at 27. I just wanted to drop in and compliment you. I know you've been through a lot, but your skin and hair look so pretty and healthy. I'm glad you have the support of your family and God and hope you're doing well.
Unfortunately, my loved one was not an advocate for herself. She was afraid to question her doctors. She downplayed her situation to her family. It was too late when her family found out. She passed away a week ago at age 55.
How many years she's become cancer free . And what she did for her diet sir , that she reached 55 yrs old from 35 years old ... May i know sir if you never mind , im from philippines
Unfortunately there are way too many doctors who shrug off their patients pain. Especially if they are women. Thank God you are ok now. Continue to stay strong in the Lord. 🙏🏻
You are right that it takes so long to get a colonoscopy. I’ve waited over 6 months and finally happening next week. It was cancelled twice. Rediculous. Been having bad stomach and back pain with bowel issues. Your story was touching and so sorry you had to go through this at such a young age. You’re so strong!
Thank you so much for telling your story. I wish you the rest of your life cancer free. I am 66 years old and have my first hospital appointment in 2 weeks time 🙏
God Bless You. I hope you never have to worry about Cancer again. You have a Beautiful Family. Best wishes to you and yours. Thank God for helping you in your struggle.👍❤️
Thats crazy. Im younger than her and I just had a colonoscopy. I was afraid i had colon cancer but I was completely fine and didnt even have a single polyp. I would have passed out if they had found anything. Good luck to this lady
My mom passed in 13 at 62 from colon cancer. She found out at 59 and was stage 4. I get my colonoscopy regularly since it's in my family. My mom's grandmother's sister had it and survived. I'm glad people are talking about it.
You are one lucky little lady! I heard you say you were living in Sonoma. I’m from Napa and moved to So Cal and now in Arizona. I had pancreatic cancer. Talk about scary. I was lucky it was stage one. I had the Whipple and been cancer free for 2 years now. Good luck to you and your family. ❤
I was diagnosed in stage 3 Signet ring cell adenocarcinoma Colorectal Cancer. unfortunatly it has gone in stage IV and spread in my peritoneal. after a cycles of chemo and targeted therapy it has able to operated but cytroductive surgery with Hipec. still I'm Fighting from last 10 Month. Don't loose hope everything can be possible..!!
I'm just like Diana, I've had sudden stomach since I turned 18, now I'm 30. When I asked my physician for a colonoscopy or a specialist I would be turned down. I finally got tested for celiac, which turned out to be negative. It's very frustrating and painful living like this.
How is she now? We cannot explain why some people take so much of a beating in life. I m so sorry for everyone going through this terrible journey. I wish you loads of luck and pray that you live a good long life with your family ❤
And today, you look wonderful and your story, including your husband's advocacy is important for everyone! Don't settle with symptoms, you're story is so right!
I am watching this because I have issues in my stomach. This month I will request for abdominal ultrasound and I want colonoscopy. I am somtimes overthinking now🙏
Get a capsule endoscopy-colonoscopy instead. It goes through the small intestine too, and anesthesia is not needed. It takes 2 pictures every second. The regular one, doesn't go through the small intestine.
Do it! Do not wait. I waited for almost 2 years to get my colonoscopy when I first saw blood on my stool for first and last time but it was bright red- attributed to hemorrhoid.. then had leakage forca week. Attributed to it being summertime and possibly sweat. I am stage 1 thankfully but I still am waiting for a CT Scan to see the rest of my abdomen and chest to make sure nothing else is lurking.
What a brave strong lady! I am praying for you.May you lve a long and healthy life with your beautiful family. Your husband was so supportive...that is so nice.
After watching your video ive decided to have my knee checked out. On the bottom of left knee it started hurting so bad one day out of the blue and its been that way for several months. Its time. Thank you. Im glad youre doing so much better. God Bless you
Wow, you're really easy to listen to, I found myself wishing your "interview" was twice as long! I hope so much that you're well right now and that you keep well for a long long time into the future. Good Luck.
Diana, you gave awesome advise at the end of your interview! Know your body and be a strong advocate for yourself! I am a 2 time colorectal cancer survivor. I was 39 the first time I was diagnosed and was lucky enough to have a good doctor that listened to me. I got goose bumps when I heard the good news that you were doing so well. Enjoy your life with your beautiful family and keep all your appointments and stay with it!!!!!! God Bless!!
Prayers for your full recovery. You are a strong, positive young woman who deserves to live a full life. Thank you for your message about advocating for yourself and not caving in to cavalier attitudes about your concerns by some doctors. All the best to you and your family.
Lost my dad in law to colon cancer. He too always had digestive issues and a history of piles. It seems many miss the symptoms because they have a history of stomach problems. Too bad he lost a lot of time, even with doctors not suspecting cancer. Hope she is doing well. These days there are more advancements.
I can understand how difficult it must have been for you to talk about it and go all through this. May God bless you and I pray for your speedy recovery.
God bless you. Praying for your continued recovery. Sharing my story: From having bouts of acid reflux to the point of not being able to swallow my food or drink with in a matter of weeks. Having bouts of throwing up. Going to my gastro he kept insisting that there was nothing wrong even after repeated endoscopy and colonoscopy tests. My primary doctor, god bless him, would contact him insisting to do additional testing. My gastroenterologist actually got angry and recommended a psychiatrist as it was in my head. My primary sent me to the Mayo clinic in phoenix, the couldn’t find anything wrong. By now I’m in and out hospital, loosing weight, dehydrated and in so much pain in my gut and chest. My primary doctor then referred me to UCLA for a special endoscopy test. They found so many tumors up and down my esophagus, one so large that it was compressing my esophagus and cutting off my ability to eat or drink. I was sent to UC Irvine to confirm the findings. Thank god it was not cancerous however they had to remove my esophagus. The doctors said it was danger of possibly erupting and I could’ve bled out. They created a new esophagus for me out of my stomach. I still struggle 20 years later with eating drinking and pain. I barely hit 95 pounds. But I’m alive and I thank god for my primary doctor who would not give up on trying to find an answer and knew I wasn’t crazy!! That gastroenterologist? The following year he was arrested for some unrelated issue in his business to do with money and unsanitary practices with medications. Yeah karma. I live on pain management-special diet and can’t do anywhere near what I used to but I’m alive. I was only 45 when this happened. A single working mom. My employer? Kept me on for a year then eliminated my high ranking position. After 10 years with them.
Thank you for sharing your journey with colon cancer. #1 be proactive is what I get from this. Get second opinions, educate yourself, and trust in God that He will guide you. May 2020 yes the bloating and feeling pregnant my gastroenterologist ordered CT scan and they found 6cm tumor. June 2020:surgeon removed all the cancer and did a resection. Now stage 2b no cancer in lymph nodes. Thankfully God was with me and guided me. My 2nd opinion Oncologist wasn’t the right choice. Just had PET in September and still NED. Yes being PROACTIVE is what saved your life. What amazing results you are having and pray God continues to heal you 💖
Thank you for sharing your story my husband has been diagnosed since Oct 2021 stage 4 colon, surgery is not an option because it also spread to the perineum, he has signet ring cancer in the transverse colon. Chemo was not working and has been on Keytruda for 1 year and a half. He’s dreading a colostomy. I pray they can do a resection.
Wow, what an amazing story. Thank you for sharing it and letting us all know to be proactive! Your husband sounds like an amazing man, very smart and loving. May you and your family have many blessings..💜
It’s crazy how most of the people in these stories are being diagnosed with cancer before the biopsy. I went through so much before being diagnosed, they didn’t even confirm it was cancer until after removing part of my kidney & at first they were going the remove the entire kidney until I went for another opinion.

Omg I had so much anxiety listening to what you went through. God bless you and keep you healthy and positive!!!
What a great outcome! Sending prayers for your continued recovery.
I'm just like Diana, I've had sudden stomach since I turned 18, now I'm 30. When I asked my physician for a colonoscopy or a specialist I would be turned down. I finally got tested for celiac, which turned out to be negative. It's very frustrating and painful living like this.
How is she now?
We cannot explain why some people take so much of a beating in life. I m so sorry for everyone going through this terrible journey. I wish you loads of luck and pray that you live a good long life with your family ❤
And today, you look wonderful and your story, including your husband's advocacy is important for everyone! Don't settle with symptoms, you're story is so right!
I am watching this because I have issues in my stomach. This month I will request for abdominal ultrasound and I want colonoscopy. I am somtimes overthinking now🙏
Go for the colonoscopy and an endoscopy if you can.
Get a capsule endoscopy-colonoscopy instead. It goes through the small intestine too, and anesthesia is not needed. It takes 2 pictures every second. The regular one, doesn't go through the small intestine.
You’re not overthinking…you’re advocating for yourself! 🫶🏽🤍
Do it! Do not wait. I waited for almost 2 years to get my colonoscopy when I first saw blood on my stool for first and last time but it was bright red- attributed to hemorrhoid.. then had leakage forca week. Attributed to it being summertime and possibly sweat. I am stage 1 thankfully but I still am waiting for a CT Scan to see the rest of my abdomen and chest to make sure nothing else is lurking.
@@gotcha4054 why did you wait 2 years?
What a brave strong lady! I am praying for you.May you lve a long and healthy life with your beautiful family. Your husband was so supportive...that is so nice.
After watching your video ive decided to have my knee checked out. On the bottom of left knee it started hurting so bad one day out of the blue and its been that way for several months. Its time. Thank you. Im glad youre doing so much better. God Bless you
Good luck ❤
Wow, you're really easy to listen to, I found myself wishing your "interview" was twice as long! I hope so much that you're well right now and that you keep well for a long long time into the future. Good Luck.
Keeping you in my prayers. The Lord is the best physician...so glad you know Him!
Diana, you gave awesome advise at the end of your interview! Know your body and be a strong advocate for yourself! I am a 2 time colorectal cancer survivor. I was 39 the first time I was diagnosed and was lucky enough to have a good doctor that listened to me. I got goose bumps when I heard the good news that you were doing so well. Enjoy your life with your beautiful family and keep all your appointments and stay with it!!!!!! God Bless!!
How does anyone go through something this big without the Lord. !!!!!
Praise the Lord..... praying it never returns. !
Prayers for your full recovery. You are a strong, positive young woman who deserves to live a full life. Thank you for your message about advocating for yourself and not caving in to cavalier attitudes about your concerns by some doctors. All the best to you and your family.
Sending you so much love!
Life is so unfair.
My heart goes out to you & your family.
Thank you for sharing your story. 💞💞💞
You have a wonderful personality and a positive attitude. May you be blessed with a long happy life
Praying for continued healing and full recovery!
Lost my dad in law to colon cancer. He too always had digestive issues and a history of piles. It seems many miss the symptoms because they have a history of stomach problems. Too bad he lost a lot of time, even with doctors not suspecting cancer.
Hope she is doing well. These days there are more advancements.
So glad you are doing better! Stay healthy
I can understand how difficult it must have been for you to talk about it and go all through this. May God bless you and I pray for your speedy recovery.
Thank you for your story- stay strong-we are continuing to pray for full recovery ❤❤❤
I have stage 2...in remission for almost a yr..god bless you..prayers
I’m so happy to hear about your healing journey. Hoping for a full recovery for you.
Thk you. So glad you went to ER. So happy that you have done so well. Xxx
It was nice to tell you about the radiation exposure. They gave me 4 ct scans and I found out by myself about radiation afterwards.
God bless you. Praying for your continued recovery.
Sharing my story:
From having bouts of acid reflux to the point of not being able to swallow my food or drink with in a matter of weeks. Having bouts of throwing up. Going to my gastro he kept insisting that there was nothing wrong even after repeated endoscopy and colonoscopy tests. My primary doctor, god bless him, would contact him insisting to do additional testing. My gastroenterologist actually got angry and recommended a psychiatrist as it was in my head. My primary sent me to the Mayo clinic in phoenix, the couldn’t find anything wrong. By now I’m in and out hospital, loosing weight, dehydrated and in so much pain in my gut and chest. My primary doctor then referred me to UCLA for a special endoscopy test. They found so many tumors up and down my esophagus, one so large that it was compressing my esophagus and cutting off my ability to eat or drink. I was sent to UC Irvine to confirm the findings. Thank god it was not cancerous however they had to remove my esophagus. The doctors said it was danger of possibly erupting and I could’ve bled out.
They created a new esophagus for me out of my stomach.
I still struggle 20 years later with eating drinking and pain. I barely hit 95 pounds. But I’m alive and I thank god for my primary doctor who would not give up on trying to find an answer and knew I wasn’t crazy!!
That gastroenterologist? The following year he was arrested for some unrelated issue in his business to do with money and unsanitary practices with medications. Yeah karma.
I live on pain management-special diet and can’t do anywhere near what I used to but I’m alive. I was only 45 when this happened. A single working mom. My employer? Kept me on for a year then eliminated my high ranking position. After 10 years with them.
You are very brave. Praying for your healing.
Thank you for sharing your journey with colon cancer. #1 be proactive is what I get from this. Get second opinions, educate yourself, and trust in God that He will guide you.
May 2020 yes the bloating and feeling pregnant my gastroenterologist ordered CT scan and they found 6cm tumor. June 2020:surgeon removed all the cancer and did a resection. Now stage 2b no cancer in lymph nodes.
Thankfully God was with me and guided me. My 2nd opinion Oncologist wasn’t the right choice. Just had PET in September and still NED.
Yes being PROACTIVE is what saved your life. What amazing results you are having and pray God continues to heal you 💖
Omg! You’ve been thru it! I’m so sorry! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story my husband has been diagnosed since Oct 2021 stage 4 colon, surgery is not an option because it also spread to the perineum, he has signet ring cancer in the transverse colon. Chemo was not working and has been on Keytruda for 1 year and a half. He’s dreading a colostomy. I pray they can do a resection.
May God continue to surround you with love and healing.
Prayers said for continued healing

I’m so happy for you! Praise God for answering your prayers! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
It’s crazy how most of the people in these stories are being diagnosed with cancer before the biopsy.
I went through so much before being diagnosed, they didn’t even confirm it was cancer until after removing part of my kidney & at first they were going the remove the entire kidney until I went for another opinion.
Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a full and continued recovery. God bless. 🙏
My heart goes out to you! Praying for your recovery! 🙏🏼
