  • With no past medical issues and a healthy lifestyle, his sudden fatigue and dwindling appetite couldn't be ignored. Laboratory tests unveiled severe anemia, leading to a deeper probe into his symptoms. CT scans exposed a significant finding - colon cancer. Despite the rarity in young adults, the rising incidence of young-onset Colorectal Cancer (CRC) can't be overlooked.

    Kudos to Dr. Mike Hansen for shedding light on this crucial issue. I can relate to the young man's experience, but with a significant age difference. I had two primary care doctors who missed red flags. The first dismissed my concerns, never ran essential tests, and recommended I see a psychiatrist. The second diagnosed me with severe iron deficiency anemia but only prescribed iron pills without addressing the underlying issue.
    Frustrated with the lack of proper care, I sought help in a big city and received a consistent diagnosis, confirmed through a colonoscopy. The young man and I were lucky to catch it before stage 4. Advocacy and persistence are crucial in our healthcare journeys, especially in rural areas where expertise can vary. Thankfully, the medical board addressed my first doctor's negligence.
    This story underscores the importance of being proactive about our health, seeking second opinions, and advocating for proper care. We need diligent healthcare providers who prioritize our well-being.

    Other cancers of the stomach, ovarian and endometrial have been found in my siblings (6 out of 8) plus several cousins on both sides.

    Thanks for mentioning the family history component but I wish you had also mentioned the connection to ovarian and endometrial cancers. I had bowel cancer exactly as described in your video at 27 and I'm now 67. In recent years the connection has been found and it's called Lynch Syndrome also known as MHS6. I have a sister who had endometrial cancer and my mother also had bowel cancer. I tested positive for Lynch syndrome. Because I was first and my doctor was smart all my siblings are tested regularly. Now the next generation are getting tested and we're finding it. My daughter who has had polyps is being checked regularly because she is in her child bearing years and wants kids. You don't want to risk not having any because cancer got you first and you had to have a hysterectomy to save your life. I'd also like to know if this affects more women than men. Does anyone know?

      However, 66 seems like a "normal" age for breast cancers to become a (high) risk.
      So even if she hadn't gotten any covid (shots nor infection), it likely wouldn't have made any difference...
      Also, "radical breast cancer" does not seem to be a thing - only radical surgery.
      I'm not sure what you meant, but when it comes to medical issues, it's important to be specific and science-based instead of anecdotal/suspicious.
      Lastly, it's of course possible that she lived less long due to the treatment - but doctors only give treatments when people would die even sooner without it.
      So unless you're saying she died due to medical mistakes (which is of course possible and happens far too often), the treatment probably extended her life...
      Even though it must have been very tough and draining to undergo all that, and I'm sure you would've loved to have her around for many many more years.
      It's understandable to look for things to blame when something so unfair occurs.
      I hope you can cherish her memory ❤
