Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis at 37 Years Old
In this video from Catholic Health, my patient Dan and I talk about his colorectal cancer diagnosis at age 37 and the importance of screening.
He was a little apprehensive about getting a colonoscopy so young.
But with his family medical history I knew that his symptoms could possibly be something more - so I strongly suggested he get screened.
For the past 20 years, Dr. Lynn M. O’Connor has made it her mission to provide patients with the foremost treatment, technology, and information related to preventive public health issues and colon and rectal health.
Dr. O’Connor is outspoken with her concern about declining health patterns due to lack of exercise, growing obesity, and the increase in colon and rectal cancer among the young adult U.S. population.
She is a noted speaker, lecturing nationally on advanced techniques related to Colorectal therapeutic considerations.

    It sounds like when I'm asleep through the whole procedure. It sounds like that I've gotten a good night's sleep as if I had been working all night long.

    Very good information. Here are the links to my WordPress Article on what it is like to go through a colonoscopy exam. I broke this down into five parts because it is a very long article. It covers 7 exams over a 21 year period. If you copy and paste the links below into your Internet Address Bar you can pull up Parts 1, 2 , 3, 4 and 5 of my article. wallen04.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/my-colonoscopy-experiences-part-1/ wallen04.wordpress.com/2012/01/20/my-colonoscopy-experiences-part-2/ wallen04.wordpress.com/2012/01/20/my-colonoscopy-experiences-part-3/ wallen04.wordpress.com/2013/05/19/my-colonoscopy-experiences-part-4/ wallen04.wordpress.com/2018/07/21/my-colonoscopy-experiences-part-5/

    DR O'Conner, you have the following in the description to this video, 'IBS or IBD? What are the differences? Learn the signs in this video'. You fail to answer your own questions in this video. This video is nothing more than a sales pitch. The ability to identify changes in IBD status , and therefore differentiate between IBD and IBS is a skill of fundamental importance to anyone diagnosed with IBD.
