Although symptoms in the early stages are often vague and nonspecific, most patients with colorectal cancer have one or more of the following symptoms at presentation: abdominal pain, change in bowel habits(diarrhea, constipation), bloody stools, rectal bleeding, and symptoms related to iron-deficiency anemia. Colon cancer should be considered in any older patient who develops iron-deficiency anemia. Later symptoms include indigestion, pain with tenderness in the lower abdomen, pallor, ascites, cachexia, lymphadenopathy, and hepatomegaly.. The Etiology: The risk of developing colon cancer increases with age. More than 90% of cases after the age of 50. The highest incidents are in the Western Europe, and North America, possibly because of the higher average dietary fat intake in those countries. Adenomas of the colon are thought to be the precursor lesion of colorectal cancer. Adenomas are composed of dysplastic epithelium that has proliferated to form a mass. Treatment: Surgical resection of the affected part of the colon or rectum, as well as any affected lymph nodes, is the mainstay of treatment. A colostomy may be necessary if the surgeon cannot reconnect the parts of the colon. Metastatic colon cancer can be treated by surgery if the metastasis(usually to the liver) can be removed as well.Radiation therapy is useful in treating cancer confined to the rectum.Prevention: Relatively simple improvements in nutrition and physical activity and the use of available screening procedures could help prevent many cases of colorectal cancer and resulting deaths. A diet high in fruits, and vegetables, regular exercise, and maintantenace of a healthy weight reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, as do regular use of aspirin or NSAIDS oral contraceptives, and estrogen replacement therapy..

Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. My mum suffered from colon cancer with metastasis in the liver. You do not say if he is taking chemo, when my mum took chemo she did frequently vomit. My mum did have surgery of the colon but unfortunately the cancer in the liver was not curable and she passed away 8 months ago at the age of 60.This does not mean that everyone dies of cancer, my mums friend suffered from colon cancer and she is now in remission and living life to the fullest.I pray everyday for a cure for all types of cancer. I wish your father all the best in the future.

Perhaps you should look into what alternative medicine has to offer for your situation, which is--a great deal. I have relevant information outside the scope of this question. Click on my icon and email me if you're interested, and I'll send you the complete answer. You'll be glad you did. Somebody here keeps getting it unjustly taken off as 'spam and advertisement' because the same information applies to everyone with cancer. And no, I'm not selling anything or getting a dime from anyone. Just want to help. Best of luck.

Tell him to take emu oil gel caps 3 per day. Emu oil kills caner cells and is safe to take. One should always consult their doctor before trying anything new.

Please stop all the chemo therapy and doctor recommended medicines right away. Doctors dont want you to know of the alternative medicines that can actually CURE CANCER. If a doctor tells you the alternative medicines, they will be out of a job. How much does it cost for chemo therapy each time you take in those chemicals? This medicine is better and only $75 dollars a bottle. Each bottle lasts a month. You take an ounce per day, and after each dose, you eat a banana or eat potatoes. its called "CESIUM CHLORIDE." The problem with chemo therapy is that they always say that they never know how each person will be affected by the chemicals. You could die the next day, or you can die in a month. BUT, you cannot live past 2 years. So, its not a good garauntee that you will extend your life for 2 years. The reason is because chemo therapy is a toxin. A poison that kills your body. And if it kills the cancers before it kills you then you are cured. And if the cancer dies before you die, you probably wont live past 5 years. Because even after the cancer is killed, your body is completely deteriorated. I bet you cannot ask 100 people who knew someone who went to chemo therapy and lived more then 5 years after defeating cancer. You might get lucky and find like 2 people. What are your chances that you will be that 2 lucky people that live? So, how good of a cure can chemo therapy be? The key to defeating cancer is all over the net. But the people who sell these alternatives cannot say on their labels that their medicines cure cancer. It is against FDA rules. The reason is because if this is done, then doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceautical companies cannot make any money. So, according to FDA, it has to be stated on the bottles that it is for vitamins only, etc etc. You can go find these medicines and take care of your cancers in 3 to 12 months. Just listen to me as I dont make anything off of this. I am only here to help. I am sick of these doctors and big companies making money off dyng people. Doctors wont tell you either. Its against their rules. Well, gee, they were ones who created these rules, so go figure. I believe there were like alot of medicines that take care of cancers. There is a top 10 list somewhere. I think cesium chloride is listed number 1 or 2 on the list. I found a good bottle of this on www.nutrition2000.com. I think this was the address. You can always search the internet. Get the one that contains rubidium (I think this is how it is spelt). This helps your body absorb the medicine. Good luck my friend. And please pass this information to everybody you know that needs it.
