It would be interesting for folks to share what their diets are, with all the early onset colon cancer.

How haemophilia a deal with cancer.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong Shannon. Continue to be the Warrior that you are. 🙏🙏🙏

[@benjaminperez1149]

My friend’s 39 year old daughter went through this. You’re too young that why we didn’t test for cancer. Had a large malignant mass removed, all alone during COVID. Doing well now.

[@vidyapremkumar5478]

Thank you, Shannon, for sharing your story. May God continue to keep you healthy and strong. ❤

[@debrabrashears1392]

I've lost all trust in the medical doctors. They don't listen to their patients which can delay in solving life threatening problems. We have advocate for our own health.

[@elizabethmcleod246]

Yes. What are they getting paid for? They are disabling honest hardworking people.

[@karenniecestro1891]

It was time for me to get a colonoscopy since my first one,which that doctor, said three years to have another one, there was a time when they forced you to have one ,not anymore, my doctor now keeps pushes me off telling me i am high risk and i need clearance from all my doctors.

[@elizabethmcleod246]

@@karenniecestro1891 Can you do a FIT test instead? It’s the Fecal Immunochemical test.

Thank you for being so brave and sharing your story ❤ I got diagnosed 7 weeks ago I’m 45 years with 3 kids 5, 9, 17 my mum had colon and rectal cancer and now urinary tract cancer she is 77 years she isn’t treating this last cancer she wants to just live her life out she has suffered enough. I inherited the genetic gene from mum I had been getting colonoscopies every 2 years although my last one was 4 years ago they found a tumour I was told few weeks back it hadn’t spread my surgery is next Monday they are removing the whole colon and doing a resection with my iliem and rectum they also want to do a full hysterectomy because of the lynch I have 2 sisters with the gene also they both have had womb cancer I think this is why. I feel very undecided full hysterectomy when nothing is there although I know I’m at higher risk I know they say the decision will be mine. I live in Northern Ireland they seem to do things differently here just take everything away! I’ve been ok with my diagnosis I’m still exercising and eating healthy although the full hysterectomy bothers me it will be major surgery both being done together I’m worried about my quality of life afterwards going straight into full blown menopause I know it’s the safer option to keep me on this earth a bit longer but the life I have now is going to change I feel I will never be the same. I didn’t realise it at the time my fatigue, stomach pains, bloating you just never know I did get bloods done in November last year my iron thyroid etc extremely low and no dr called me!! Today I feel very lucky and grateful to be given another chance. I wish you well in your future again thank you for your story it helps hearing we are not alone ❤

[@DCFunBud]

Such a wonderful family.

[@bequietkitty]

We need a story on bile duct cancer + disease

[@Bugsy0333]

Thank you for sharing !

[@Starscreamf15]

OMG I can't believe that ER treated her like that. Even the horrendous ER at my local hospital (you know an ER is bad when other hospital ERs warn you about it) wouldn't have sent her home with Tylenol and the phone number to a surgeon. Just wow.

[@fourshore502]

Hey I am in the exact same situation right now. Any advice on what to say to my doctor? Or what not to say?

[@JuanDiazSilvermyst]

Do we have patient stories on pancreatic cancer? I can't seem to find any on your KZbin

[@carolapostolos8929]

I've seen pancreatic videos on this KZbin channel.

[@tammyburch2463]

I’ve been going through the same think and bleeding drastically and the keep looking at everything but colon. Now after two years they are doing a colon biopsy.

[@elizabethmcleod246]

Utter neglect.

[@ny_njtrailrunnert926]

Cancer centers have a very solid program for managing Lynch syndrome

[@patriciahandy8447]

I have been having this. They just ignored it. Nausea all the time.

[@bendikkirkbakk1833]

Every day i eat Raw garlic and onions. They kill polups great.

[@adamtedder1012]

Ive been going to the er padt couple months for sever stomach pain. Im scheduled or a endo. But I think i need a colonoscopy. My dad had colon cancer at 50, my sister at 45. Got a feeling but my doctor brushed it off. Gonna fire her and get a new one.

[@bdmbpm1467]

I was told and read that if you have a parent or sibling with colon cancer you should begin having a screening colonoscopy 10 years pripr to their onset. So in your case at age 35 since your sister was 45 when she had colin cancer.

[@bdmbpm1467]

Definitely either book an appointment with a gastroenterologist or haveyour PCP do a referral if required by your insurance such as for HMO.

[@liteswitvh]

U are awesome! Im praaying for you.

[@shelbycurtin1425]

I also have MLH1 ❤

[@HayateAzekura]

I got a feeling my gf has cancer. She has anal bleeding, sick all the time, her stomach hurts all the time. She is even told me she is scared she is going to die. I've been telling her to go see a good doctor. But she takes medicine and moves on. I've told her for years to stop eating fast food l the time. Her family has issues with their health but she refuses to change. Now I believe she has cancer but nothing I can do.

[@Doesntmatter20]

Or she would have IBD … inflammatory bowl disease. She should check it because untreated disease will only bring havoc on her body and make it worse! Anal bleeding is often IBD or cancer

[@desisacris]

Research Joe Tippens, fenbendazole, Panacur, ivermectin!

[@tallpoppysyndrome9578]

Turmeric, garlic, spirulina and kale.

[@annmarie1689]

Wheat grass anti fungals anti parasitic

[@aikii5988]

Fiber is important if you want to reduce your chance of getting colon cancer. Eat fruits like apples and kiwis and drink a Apple Cider Vinager and real tea reguarly. Your body needs fiber to help remove deposits in your intestines and reduce inflammation.

[@thegentleman1541]

Why are doctors so reluctant to to allow CT scans?

[@imveryhungry112]

Always ask for a cea test
