One of my best friends passed away from Colon Cancer at 29 years old. She was diagnosed with stage 3 at 27 years old I believe, so devastating. I miss her Terribly.
So young , I'm so sorry for your loss
Vaccines

Please ALWAYS look before you flush! If you see blood, DO NOT assume that you have hemorrhoids, especially if you have any changes in your bowel movements. I’m am a colorectal cancer survivor, that has Lynch Syndrome-going on 11 years now. I have had, and will continue to have colonoscopies annually, for the rest of my life. Colon/colorectal cancers are one of the most treatable cancers, if you catch it in time. Please listen to your body, and don’t be embarrassed to talk about your bowel movements, AND definitely DO NOT be afraid of colonoscopies!
I can attest
It wasn’t colon cancer for me but quick and severe Ulcerative Colitis.
It’s a long story but in a nutshell I got bad stomach pains and bleeding for around a week before I got treatment.
I’m fine now, but looking back I should’ve gotten help immediately. I too assumed it was a bug and I had hemorrhoids
And yes, I was at first fearful of colonoscopies but after having a few I can say they’re not even that bad. The prep is the worst though LOL
Processed foods are to blame is my opinion.
What are the Colon Cancer rates in other countries that eat less processed food in the same demographic? Would be interesting to see if that has been looked at yet.
I agree
I hope to be called a young adult at 49 years old
Drinking alcohol can lead to colon cancer, as well as stomach, esophagus, and liver cancer.
As well as bladder cancer. Alcoholism can really boost the cancer risks.
So can a vax. I have ms from flu vax. Please be careful.
I had a colonscopy at 40 and have many polyps. I think dietary changes are important. I’m really healthy and I exercise almost daily. I’m still at risk and am recommended to return in 3 years given my high number of polyps. Thank you for this. Video reminder !
99% of people who get a colonoscopy have at least one polyp.
because all the hot dogs and lunch meat, eat 80% vegetables and only water, no soda, no processed foods
Intermittent fasting is important too. Just follow Jack LaLanne's and Clint Eastwood's diets
It’s the cell phone is the back pocket!!!!!! Don’t keep your phone in your back pocket.
How ?
I think , in my personal opinion, the type of food that a person takes, play a part too.
The recommended testing age had been lowered BUT to get insurance companies on board is the issue. To get young people to believe it is another. The tests are not cheap and the Cologuard is NOT reliable. Many false readings. I have had two colonoscopies, the last one was after a false positive from a Cologuard test. Both colonoscopies were totally clean, NO polyps either time.
People joke about the prep and think it's difficult. Trust me, it is NOT. They have better prep methods now, my second one was a piece of cake. My husband was an idiot and died of colon cancer, TOTALLY not necessary, and trust me everyone, it was ugly, very ugly. You do NOT want that. Please please, please get your screening.
I had one at 31 due to my father dying at 53 with a relapse. He was told he had colon cancer the first time at 48 after seeking the test early after having bathroom issues.
The sad thing is colon cancer is rising because of our food, people are not eating, sustainable food, and everything is processed. Processed processed. Our bodies are not used to dealing with that. Therefore, it’s causing horrible illnesses not just colon cancer.
Fruits, vegetables and whole grains people ❤
People raised on junk food?
@@kathleenking47 GMOs
All these you mentioned are toxic and indigestible
San Francisco has a lot of problems with crime and high prices, but UCSF is an amazing beacon of hope for patients everywhere. I'm proud of having gone to school there, over 100 years and still no sports!
ooh.... k.... didn't really understand that last part lol
Pesticides are also suspect.
Eat more fiber, veggies and fruits. Minimize sodas and drink water and tea instead.
Fiber veggies and fruits are indigestible. Water actually dehydrates you more and tea hardens your kidneys
@@gabim3093 , nothing is 100% but exercise and eating right improves chances of being healthy. I no longer take metformin cuz my A1c or glocuse has improved dramatically by eating healthier and exercising everyday.
My daughter got colon cancer at 27,. She stage 4 for 5 years. She died in 2009. She took acutane at 15 for acne. I think it caused her cancer. Very sad❤
I'm so sorry for your loss😢
My daughter also got acne in her 20s.
She never had it as a teen
Shes 27 now..but tries to control it with her diet
Dairy makes her break out
I'm sorry
It's not rising, the rate of detection is!
True
Not true. Cancer rates have risen significantly, especially as more and more chemicals are added to our food, air, and water. Add to that the injections, and the odds are astronomical.
I can only comment on what I see with the people in my life and it is not good. One small example from last week. I work retail for a company that sells grills. To demo a grill other workers were super excited once again the samples would be burnt ends...of hot dogs!!!! Double dose of carcinogens please. Any processed meat that stays pink contains nitrites a class 1 carcinogen. Burning or cooking meat well makes it more of a carcinogen. I say nothing upon hearing this or face the wrath and ridicule of my co-workers. There are 3 people in my co-worker group of around 50 with cancer (full disclosure one is a spouse). For the 2 years I’ve known her one receiving chemo has eaten meat sticks on every break I have ever seen. Again, I will not say anything, the single time I did, if looks could kill I’d be dead. Seriously though you’d have thought I was the dumbest person in the room the comments and put downs. Stay informed and take care.
I had my 1st test at 28yo. 3 polyps found and removed. Mom died at 40yo from this in 2000. Get tested early
Good to here🙏🏼 I Got tested at 30 and 32. Thankfully, all is good.
Were you genetically tested for lynch syndrome?
I think it is all the chemicals in aerial spraying.
Processed foods are to blame
just had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy, all clear. I freaked myself out so bad the day before and morning of, I was throwing up (not from prep, from nerves), dizzy, chest pain (again anxiety), got to the hospital..........they took me back right away given I was a complete mess (my doc is great!) and guess what.......no big deal!!! The staff was great at making me comfortable both physically n mentally and actually talked n joked with me as I was going under sedation. Get screened!! U r knocked out n dont feel or know anything.
I literally went to the hospital a week ago with all these symptoms and they said I was fine. I still have the symptoms but it is what it is
Go with a specialist or another doctor ?
I'm assuming you went to the ER? They're not there to diagnose cancer unless it's a dire emergency and the patient needs life saving measures. As someone else said, go to a primary doctor and/or a GI doctor.
Scary
Because its probably environmental or technological maybe
Were they vaccinated ?
FAST FOODS!!
Question. Now the recommendations are to do an occult stool test at Kaiser. There is no recommended colonoscopy test there. Unless you are symptomatic . Is this sufficient or is Kaiser just trying to save money!
They do recommended colonoscopy starting at 50
@@maggiejohnson5891 it’s been that age for decades according to my gastro client.
I only receive the Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) kit yearly from Kaiser beginning at age 50. Maybe I should insist on having colonoscopy.
@@marilynH66 my Gastro ordered my Colonoscopy at 42 and he offered me the endoscopy too. He said might as well do both while you are under. IF you have one of those doctors who seems to “work for the insurance company”, exaggerate your symptoms. Tell them you are often constipated and get really bad stomach cramps! They’ll have to order a test or they will be liable for negligence! Or find another gastro
It was drilled into me 5 months ago.
My gastroenterologist client and every other doctor I know says your present at 50 is a colonoscopy! Poof after the shot bam decades earlier now common. Ok
It is a ball,of confusing, CANCER!!

God help all sick, if not in this life than in afterlife, amen
Spike
so much bs on the news on from the doctors and even from people reading here, did you know insurance would do anything to deny if the person is not 45
The emf pollution
Vaccines
Meat is a big risk factor. Wonder if its part of this low carb trend.
LOL, where is your actual evidence that meat causes cancer? Tell me what carcinogens are present in meat before spewing nothing but pure BS here. Are you gonna say hunter gatherers died from cancer too? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Stop processed food. Eat the food the way it looks. Ideally, the Carnivore lifestyle is optimal.
Let's pretend the mRNA shots.
💉
Has anyone here have flat ribbon stool before they were diagnosed with colon cancer?
Wonder y
Yes it is because of the arm candy that's why
yet insurance only want to cover people 45 or older
Thank you so much Dr Igho, for your utmost dedication in curing others and your generous heart that you have, I am absolutely Delighted & proud of the results I got after using your Herbal medication for that cured my Cancer permanently after using it by your prescription after a long time living in shame, thank you Dr you did well.
Vaccinated....
I agree 👍
Has zero to do with it. Not one bit. Stop spreading BS.
RUclips is on the prop trail again. All of the 💉 😒 comments are magically disappearing. RUMBLE !!!
@@maryfields877 There is a spike in fast cancers after vaccines.
My daughter died 2009. Before covid
Yeah, thanks to the vaccine.
What in God's name ARE you talking about. People have had colon cancer long before ANY vaccine and certainly way before Covid.
This been happening before the vaccine. My classmate died 10 years ago at 36. No Covid vaccine existed. Cut it out.
Where are the other two comments?
I suspect the vaccine
Dumb
It could've been before the vax.
My mom had colon cancer at 65, after getting a heart operation
It could be diet, but these women are YOUNG
People have had colon cancer for years and years. Where do you come off with this junk comment?
Not this young.
@@user-ry1vi1jc7o You are so wrong. Become a cancer registrar; you’ll see many young people diagnosed long before Covid existed.
those high protein diets
Don't have children.
