Colorectal Cancer in young adults: A patient's story

A Dana-Farber Cancer Institute patient opens up about getting diagnosed with advanced colon cancer at age 34. Dr. Kimmie Ng, director of the young-onset colorectal cancer center at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center says their research in the center is focused on getting to the bottom on an alarming trend - an increasing rate of colorectal cancer cases diagnosed in adults younger than 50 years old.

Lost a close Army buddy two years to colon cancer. Been having some issues myself and I’m going in next week to get check. I have Crohn’s, so I’m use to having issues. Just hoping these new ones aren’t something more serious.

On, March 16th, 2022, I had a large tumor removed from my colon. I came to realize later that it corresponded to the same area where I was regularly wearing my cell phone for years. Could cell phone radiation have caused or contributed to this tumor? It's something to think about. Radiation is known to be very harmful. Since cell phones act as transmitters and receivers. Could someone be directing higher concentrations of energy toward any particular cell Phone?

Update. The condition seems to be stable. But of course it requires follow up examinations. And general healthy lifestyle.
