[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stories of people surviving have certainly made this news slightly less scary.  I appreciate it.  I’m just scared out of my mind at the moment.  Once an ulcer or something to that effect had been ruled out, I thought maybe I had diverticulitis or something like that.  A tumor was the furthest thing from my mind.

Do not let problems go, folks.  I had to have my gall bladder removed 2 years ago after ignoring what I now know were attacks for years.  Now this.  If a problem is persistent, it could be serious.  I didn’t know what I didn’t know.[/quote]

PP here - honestly, the docs have to become more aggressive about ordering colonoscopies, too.   We have to raise awareness and change the guidelines, which will prompt the insurance companies to start covering them on a wider basis.   Chances are, your docs should have scoped you earlier. It is just not on the radar much.

Young adult colorectal cancer happens.  It is no longer rare.

Much depends on staging, but in general, colorectal cancer often has a favorable prognosis.[/quote]
