I had tongue cancer in 1984 and it spread from my tongue to different lymph nodes under my jaw & chin. After 3 rounds of intravenous chemotherapy, 2 surgeries and weeks of radiation therapy I lived to see my son graduate from high school & college, get married and father 3 children. I was born in 1953 and am now 70 years old. You too can have a long life!
Thank you GOD, LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR HEALING THIS MAN AND CONTINUES TO WATCH OVER HIM AND THANK YOU SO HE AND HIS WIFE COULD SEE THEIR FAMILY GROW AND CONTINUES.......
My mom is 77 and had mouth cancer on the roof of her mouth over 30 years ago . They made a mistake in the dx and originally told her she was terminal and would need radiation and chemotherapy but in the end she needed none of that . They did a radical surgery that otherwise if it was what they told her it was still would NOT of saved her. So we are very blessed that the mistake was made and that we still have her living her best life with 3 great grandbabies, and 8 grand children and 3 children. If she can get thru all the reconstruction stuff she went to to make her mouth a mouth again you can do it too your in my prayers
Diagnose has progressed but not cures ,no different from 50 years ago! It’s a corporation that is over a trillion dollars a year! A lot of people from the lab workers to the other millions rely on their wages ,so showing the cure would be devastating g for the economy I was told!
@@user-gz9sy8rh6f well I'm speaking from experience. My mom had stage four breast cancer and they were able to save her. She also had a full historectomy My dad beat prostate cancer and my sister beat ovarian cancer. We have had some deaths in the family from cancer too. So I'm not saying it's perfect. And a few prayers can't hurt. But to each his own.
c@user-gz9sy8rh6f Joe Tippin stage 4 lung cancer, spread all over his body. He took parasite cleanse in 2017 , he's still cancer free now. Parasite meds work fur dogs with cancer so he tried it and it worked! 2 different people talk about this on you tube. Dr. Berg and a BC Canada holistic vet ❤
My wife (at age 30) was having terrible backaches, fatigue, and constant constipation. I begged her to go to the doctor. She refused because she grew up in a military family where all the doctors were quacks. After one year she started bleeding and finally went. It was too late, stage 4 colon cancer. The doctor told her with surgery and chemo she had two years to live. Exactly two years of the most excruciating pain, she finally went to be with the Lord. It has been 31 years and my two boys and I still miss her. We love you Karen.
My brother ignored stomach pain for 2 years. When he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer it was too late for treatment, it wouldn’t fix anything except make him sicker and was told to enjoy the quality of his life for the next 6 months to a year. There was no quality of life. Colon cancer is a painful way to die. He lasted 13 months before he passed at age 62.
As a fellow paramedic, and colon cancer survivor, my best advise, if your dr suggests a colostomy, do it! I didn’t at first and had to have it done later. It made my life so much easier, wish I had done it in the beginning. You got this Brothet! God go with you!

Hi, I’m a 34 year old female and I have heard younger people getting colon cancer. Im afraid of getting it.. what are the symptoms of colon cancer and when should I start the colonoscopy..
@@marygonzalez6473 It's not as bad as you would think! I was awake when I had both a double procedure back to back one morning 2+ years ago - a Gastroscopy followed by a Colonoscopy. The Gastroscopy without any anesthesia was worse, more uncomfortable due to my natural Gag reflexes. I also have a Seizure disorder, so we had 3 Assistants in the procedural room, and my Doctor waited again before she actually inserted the camera successfully down my throat to do the Gastroscopy. My Gastroenterologist used extra lubricant for the Colonoscopy, which made it easier. The Colonoscopy was actually the easier procedure, more comfortable throughout..even when my Gastroenterologist had to cut off 1 Polyp that she found. She sent the extracted Polyp to the Lab for Cancer testing after showing it to me. Luckily for me, it was malignant, not Cancerous, not Colon Cancer. Irene Battisti
Been in remission 13 years ago, yesterday 7/28. I walked out of hospice. I'm still in remission. I had stage 4 lung cancer. Small cell. Keep your attitude high in your confidence high and your mind positive and surround yourself with those kind of people. You can do this. If I can walk out of hospice, you can beat this.
Sir, I will pray for you so hard🙏. I lost my dad at 15yrs. Old from colon cancer in 77. My dad never made it to 50. Every year I celebrate my years for him. I don't know you. I just came upon this. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ!!!
Praying for you ! As a GI nurse, we rarely have patients that prefer to be awake during procedure. I will tell you this…even when they are asleep and we see a mass, silence is all enveloped by everyone on the team. You stay strong. God Speed to you❤
I don't get anesthesia for colonoscopies - does that bother the doc and nurses? I like looking for polyps and finding them before the doc - he told me I should do his job.
Who the heck chooses to be awake? Yikes. As a nurse we all feel the breath sucked out of us when anyone os diagnosed with cancer. ESPECIALLY our younger folks. That includes 50-60's
@xo2quilt not if it doesn't bother you! My dad was awake for his first one. Meds didn't knock him out. He and team had a GREAT time. But his doctor was also later in life, 2nd career MD and he was great. Had opportunity to deal with him and he was always down to earth and first name kind of guy. Not formal at all. But I find that most GI and anesthesiologists are like this. Very laid back
I had diverticulitis and kept getting flare ups until I finally had a coldon resection. 4 years later, I had my next colonoscopy and it was clear.Thank heavens!
So sorry you've been through this, I've had 5 divertilitis flare up, and I'm struggling to manage pain on a daily basis, but I no way want a stoma bag or to be cut about, im just trying to stay out of the Hospital, but my stress levels are pretty high . You take care, I wish you good health . X
Same thing with my mom. Recurring diverticulitis and crohns. In and out of hospital for 5 months. Finally had a bowel resection and put on biologics and been in remission for 5 years now. Totally worth it for her to lose a few feet of colon!
Just found out my wife has stage 2 colon cancer. I tell her not to worry because I know she will be fine. I'm really scared. I try not to cry when shes around. I will be strong for her. And today is her birthday. I don't know what I would do without her. 😢
Always get your colonoscopy done. I have had to have one done every 2 years for the last 10 years due to family history. That will not be the reason I leave this earth. It's so soooo important.
If you feel something wrong around your stomach and right side get colonoscopy done sooner I started feeling weird stuff a year after my colonoscopy can you turn out to be stage 3 colon cancer
Same here Texas Girl. My brother died of colon cancer that was not diagnosed until stage 4. I often wonder if he would still be alive if we could have made the VA do the colonoscopy earlier. But I am determined not to let colon cancer sneak up on me. Colonoscopies every 2 years. The time before last they found and removed 8 polyps. The last time they removed 13! I will never not get this checked.
Wow, thank goodness your cancer was caught early. Huge benefit in that. Colon cancer is very treatable if caught, and dealt with, early. I have a dear friend that is a 25 year survivor of colon cancer.
Colonoscopies saved my life. In 2019 my doctor discovered a few large polyps in my ascending colon near my appendix. They were too large and deep to snip out with the scope, so I had surgery. Doctors removed about 30% of my colon and saved me from the development of several cancerous polyps. Today I feel fine and have been polyp free ever since my surgery.
A Colonoscopy is PAINLESS. Improved. My last one was a breeze. I was put under. Glad I went because they found some polyps. Clipped them. Preventing possible cancer 😁🎉
That happened to my dad years ago. He had polyps removed and the surgeon said to him- that was WELL worth doing - implying they would have turned cancerous. His dad died of bowel cancer in his 60's, his sister is on her deathbed with it now and his cousin also has it on his dad's side. V strong family history
I was knocked out but probably got extra since I had a horrible headache. I woke up to find out I had a kink in my colon so test was aborted. Sent down for a barium enema...good times😅! Colonography is my reality now!
I was diagnosed in 2015.. stage 3b Colon-rectal cancer... still here... and treatment has dramatically improved since then... I am praying for your strength during this part of the journey.. it is not all sushi & sunglasses.. but you can do it..
God Bless and watch over you. I was diagnosed at 37 years old with stage two colon cancer. That was 1991. I just celebrated my 71st birthday. Keep your chin up, sweetheart 😘
Wishing you well. Have a brother fighting cancer right now. Had my colonoscopy last week for diverticulitis also. Thank goodness I’m good. Healing light and prayers for you.
May God keep you and protect you, through this time of scariness! My husband went thru this, but lung cancer. I prayed on him each night for healing and mercy. Hes still with me, almost 10 yrs later. God is good all the time!
As hard as it is to hear about a colon cancer diagnosis, I am glad that you did follow up and having treatment now. My mother had colon cancer after finally getting fed up with continuing abdominal pains. She taught me what to do if I saw any symptoms, and being a 1st degree relative, I went in for a colonscopy as soon as I noticed something wrong. I did have polyps removed, which were benign. I keep up with follow up colonscopies, which have prevented further complications. It seems that we do have a family history of colon cancer and two of my brothers also have follow up colonscopies when they are due. I'm writing this long note to wish you luck and to hang in there. Hopefully, if anyone reading this and may be afraid of a colonscopy, don't be. Just go and have it done. You will be able to know how you're doing. God bless you, kind sir!
The process of having a colonoscopy isn't as terrible as it sounds like it would be. I'm glad you had it done and I'm hopeful for a healthy future for you!
It’s so important for people to hear and see your message. Thank you for posting it and sharing it. I’ve been putting mine off, but I think I’ve got the courage to go through with it now.
Just remember you have a lot of people praying for you & that love you I have a brain tumor my 1st major brain tumor surgery as a single mom I just keep thinking I have been through worse ❤ keep us updated
I pray you return to 100% well. I suggest you pray in earnest as well sir. Stay strong, fight, fight , and then fight some more!! All healing comes from within you.
Keep going and keep the strong faith ,,my youngest brother is still in the hospital o his 4th time but this time its over 3 mos now and fighting for his life he is not really well and voice to exoress his feeling except in writing if he can God bless you both and all whos undergoing this battle
That is the honest to God truth! My Mama was still a young woman when she got cancer of the female organs and the doctors gave her one year to live. She lived 20+ years and met all of her grandchildren. She was cancer free when she died in 1998. The doctors said there was no medical reason she should have lived. But it was her determination to live to take care of her three daughters and see them graduate and get married they kept her alive. At one point she looked so much like death at 90 lbs. Plus she had lots of people praying for her and she prayed constantly. Her doctors even said divine intervention.
Love your shirt! I’m fighting a different type of cancer, but all cancer patients need a shirt like that! Keep fighting!! Don’t let this horrible disease take you too soon! Prayers for you & your family!
Praying for you U also am dealing with Cancer along with my Boyfriend who had his colon taken out but didn't have to have a bag. Thank God prayers for you
It’s for this very reason the cancer scare that I absolutely stopped getting any kind of physical examination from any doctor at all. I haven’t had a physical and 20 years and I absolutely refused to see any doctor if I get cancer it was meant to be. I won’t get treatment if I ever do get cancer, because the stuff they do to you as even scarier than the cancer itself
I’m really sorry you’re so anxious; that’s hard. It’s obviously your call, but a lot of cancers are eminently curable when detected early. I’m no expert but cervical cancer, bowel cancer, breast cancer and Hodgkins come to mind for starters. I actually agree that some treatments are utterly gruelling…but they can also be utterly worth it. My ex had treatment for hodgkins when he was in his early 30s; it was so tough, he considered stopping…but he didn’t and he’s now a 60 year old happily married Dad of twins with a great career (& no cancer). Catching it early is the best way to avoid horrible treatment (or, to be brutally honest, an unpleasant & untimely demise :-0)
I hope that you eat well and take care of yourself. I also hope that you have huge life insurance policies and other estate planning complete. Because it seems you only care about you and not the others who probably love and depend on you.
Good to know that these screenings are doing their jobs. Saving lives. Cancer of different kinds is prevalent in my family, and each time has been an incidental finding. Mine was during an MRI after an accident. I am learning to keep all these routine exams up to date.
I am scheduling my long over due colonoscopy bc of you. I'm praying you are doing good. Thank you for sharing your difficult story bc you will save lives, maybe mine.
Hope you’re doing well. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and also accidentally found out at MRI scan I had a renal mass. I had a survey and all went well. Thanks be to God❤
Wow, kudos to you for being awake during the procedure! I’m so sorry for the outcome. Adenocarcinoma is a nasty diagnosis, anywhere it’s at. I’m hoping and praying that you kicked cancer’s arse!
My father just turned 81 years old in May 2024. He was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2010, which had spread to his liver and lung. He received most of his care at Shands in Gainesville.
You’re brave soul! I’ve always been given anesthetic during colonoscopy and especially endoscopes! I woke once, with scope in my esophagus, and tried to scream! Quickly given more anesthetic! I’m very sorry your New’s wasn’t positive, and pray you get through treatment and are successful! 🙏🦋🙏🦋🙏
I’m sorry to hear this…my suggestion to you is to look into holistic/natural ways to help your cancer by juicing and not eating foods from the center of the store. Also, gut health is really important like bone broths are very helpful. Sorry to say, but the medical side don’t really discuss much about changing what you are putting into your body like what your eating and drinking makes a huge difference. Processed foods and eating out a lot are not good choices either. There’s a saying by Hippocrates: Let thy food be thy medicine or your medicine will become your food! I’ll be praying 🙏 for you! I hope this helps someone! 🙏❤️🙏
You did the right thing, I wish you a good treatment and fast recovery. Thank you for sharing, it's so important to have endo and colonoscopy after 40.
I'm so sorry for the diagnosis. But your T-shirt speaks volumes about your spirit. Stay strong, keep a positive attitude, even when you're feeling down. You're a firefighter. You fight fires, so I know you can whoop cancers ass. Good Luck and God bless you and yours.❤️
Hopefully this was caught early and you will get treatment and live a long long life. I have had many medical problems and my outlook was: giving up was NOT an option. I will do what I have to do for myself and my family !!! I hope this helps you. Best wishes and may God bless you on this journey !!! 😊😊😊
I had my first colonoscopy back in the 90's. I was awake off and on. I could see the screen. I saw the doc burning (?) off some small polyps. Afterwards, in recovery, doc came in and spoke with my husband and mom. I had a polyp that blocked 2/3 of my colon. From what i understand, most polyps have a cap and a stem ( formed like a mushroom). Mine was all cap, no stem. He removed what was safe to remove. I went back in 6 weeks later. It had some greyish black coloring. That came back pre-cancerous. The prep work for a colonoscopy is not easy. It sure is the easy part of KEEPING things right in our bodies. 😊
I, too, was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma December 2015. I had surgery to remove a foot and half of my colon and they removed 21 lymph nodes to test to see if the cancer had spread. Luckily, it hadn’t so I was diagnosed stage 3. About a year later I was having chest pains so I went to the cardiologist and they found 3 tumors in both of my lungs where the cancer had spread. Stage 4. I underwent chemo which shrank the tumors and was given a year and a half to live. I changed drs and found a place that offered me the option to get ablations to burn out the tumors. I had all three ablated plus another tumor that showed up. Ive been on daily chemo with medication I take at home (4 pills). I decided to change my habits so I started walking, strength training and I CHANGED MY DIET!!!! I cut out sugar and processed foods!! I’m now in remission for 3 years and off of chemo pills!! You can do this!!!! Changing your diet will change your life!! I wish nothings but the best for you!! Sending you much love and prayers🙏❤️
I’m so sorry for your affliction. I hope the cancer isn’t in an advanced stage and that the doctors are able to get rid of it all as soon as possible. Thank you for sharing this story with us. It helps to bring awareness of colon cancer and how important it is to have the tests done at the appropriate times. I don’t know how old this video is but sending healing thoughts and prayers your way. Godspeed. ❤
@@nicksprague4685 So sorry to hear that but glad to know you’re not giving up the fight. You are very brave and I hope you have a great support system.

So glad you followed through and they caught it! May you and your medical staff be successful in the cure and care!
How are you?...keep us posted....sending prayers and "good. good , good. good
vibrations "....❤
I don't understand being awake for this procedure. When I had mine done I was knocked out.
I was wondering too ? I was supposedly knocked out, but every time the doc turned a corner with the camera ,I felt it & woke up.
Some folks are knocked right out by the sedatives, in my case it really just relaxed me. Trust me, I napped like crazy afterwards.
@IamAloha that was miserable t experience -not good
I was awake for the first and watched like he said but knocked out for the rest
I was knocked out but probably got extra since I had a horrible headache. I woke up to find out I had a kink in my colon so test was aborted. Sent down for a barium enema...good times😅! Colonography is my reality now!
Wishing you a great recovery. Cancer treatment has come a long way
Thank you for sharing your story. Prayers for healing. You got this.
Keep working on your healthy therapy regimen & you will overcome all of this soon! 🙏✨
I was diagnosed in 2015.. stage 3b Colon-rectal cancer... still here... and treatment has dramatically improved since then... I am praying for your strength during this part of the journey.. it is not all sushi & sunglasses.. but you can do it..
God Bless and watch over you. I was diagnosed at 37 years old with stage two colon cancer. That was 1991. I just celebrated my 71st birthday. Keep your chin up, sweetheart 😘
Wishing you well. Have a brother fighting cancer right now. Had my colonoscopy last week for diverticulitis also. Thank goodness I’m good. Healing light and prayers for you.
Keep up the fight against cancer . You can do it!!! Prayers for you sir.
May God keep you and protect you, through this time of scariness! My husband went thru this, but lung cancer. I prayed on him each night for healing and mercy. Hes still with me, almost 10 yrs later. God is good all the time!
Much Respect For Your Attitude
God bless and sustain this gentleman. I pray that He will pour down His healing touch and comfort. Peace and blessings 🙏
As hard as it is to hear about a colon cancer diagnosis, I am glad that you did follow up and having treatment now. My mother had colon cancer after finally getting fed up with continuing abdominal pains. She taught me what to do if I saw any symptoms, and being a 1st degree relative, I went in for a colonscopy as soon as I noticed something wrong. I did have polyps removed, which were benign. I keep up with follow up colonscopies, which have prevented further complications. It seems that we do have a family history of colon cancer and two of my brothers also have follow up colonscopies when they are due. I'm writing this long note to wish you luck and to hang in there. Hopefully, if anyone reading this and may be afraid of a colonscopy, don't be. Just go and have it done. You will be able to know how you're doing. God bless you, kind sir!
So sorry for your diagnosis, warm prayers
The process of having a colonoscopy isn't as terrible as it sounds like it would be. I'm glad you had it done and I'm hopeful for a healthy future for you!
It’s so important for people to hear and see your message. Thank you for posting it and sharing it. I’ve been putting mine off, but I think I’ve got the courage to go through with it now.
How the heck you were awake for that is wild. I applaud your courage. Sorry that you went through that.
Praying for you🙏
I’m so sorry that you have colon cancer! Praying for you.
Just remember you have a lot of people praying for you & that love you I have a brain tumor my 1st major brain tumor surgery as a single mom I just keep thinking I have been through worse ❤ keep us updated
🙏 ❤️ 🙏
For You
Always & Forever
Prayers bro " you're stronger than you know"
I pray you return to 100% well.
I suggest you pray in earnest as well sir.
Stay strong, fight, fight , and then fight some more!!
All healing comes from within you.
Keep going and keep the strong faith ,,my youngest brother is still in the hospital o his 4th time but this time its over 3 mos now and fighting for his life he is not really well and voice to exoress his feeling except in writing if he can God bless you both and all whos undergoing this battle
That is the honest to God truth! My Mama was still a young woman when she got cancer of the female organs and the doctors gave her one year to live. She lived 20+ years and met all of her grandchildren. She was cancer free when she died in 1998. The doctors said there was no medical reason she should have lived. But it was her determination to live to take care of her three daughters and see them graduate and get married they kept her alive. At one point she looked so much like death at 90 lbs. Plus she had lots of people praying for her and she prayed constantly. Her doctors even said divine intervention.

All healing comes from God, who has ALL power of heaven and earth in HIS hands!❤❤❤
All healing comes from God.
Love your shirt! I’m fighting a different type of cancer, but all cancer patients need a shirt like that! Keep fighting!! Don’t let this horrible disease take you too soon! Prayers for you & your family!
Best wishes! You are in my thoughts and prayers of those of so many others on CZcams
Very sorry to hear of your diagnosis, hopefully detection is early enough to eradicate it and enable you to live the long healthy life you should.
This is why everyone SHOULD get on a regular screening.
Praying for your full recovery and healing ❤🙏
Wishing you a speedy recovery sir , and God be with you throughout your journey. 🙏✝️
Praying for you U also am dealing with Cancer along with my Boyfriend who had his colon taken out but didn't have to have a bag. Thank God prayers for you
It’s for this very reason the cancer scare that I absolutely stopped getting any kind of physical examination from any doctor at all. I haven’t had a physical and 20 years and I absolutely refused to see any doctor if I get cancer it was meant to be. I won’t get treatment if I ever do get cancer, because the stuff they do to you as even scarier than the cancer itself
Out of compassion...you can be asleep for a colonoscopy
I’m really sorry you’re so anxious; that’s hard. It’s obviously your call, but a lot of cancers are eminently curable when detected early.
I’m no expert but cervical cancer, bowel cancer, breast cancer and Hodgkins come to mind for starters.
I actually agree that some treatments are utterly gruelling…but they can also be utterly worth it.
My ex had treatment for hodgkins when he was in his early 30s; it was so tough, he considered stopping…but he didn’t and he’s now a 60 year old happily married Dad of twins with a great career (& no cancer).
Catching it early is the best way to avoid horrible treatment (or, to be brutally honest, an unpleasant & untimely demise :-0)
@@laurafeher9694 no thanks the thought of somebody putting something up my butt, never
I hope that you eat well and take care of yourself. I also hope that you have huge life insurance policies and other estate planning complete. Because it seems you only care about you and not the others who probably love and depend on you.
Good to know that these screenings are doing their jobs. Saving lives. Cancer of different kinds is prevalent in my family, and each time has been an incidental finding. Mine was during an MRI after an accident. I am learning to keep all these routine exams up to date.
I am scheduling my long over due colonoscopy bc of you. I'm praying you are doing good. Thank you for sharing your difficult story bc you will save lives, maybe mine.
Please do, it's so important. From a colon cancer survivor diagnosed at 40 with no family history. Eight years later, I'm still here. Bless the Lord!
Hope you’re doing well. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and also accidentally found out at MRI scan I had a renal mass. I had a survey and all went well. Thanks be to God❤
Wow, kudos to you for being awake during the procedure! I’m so sorry for the outcome. Adenocarcinoma is a nasty diagnosis, anywhere it’s at. I’m hoping and praying that you kicked cancer’s arse!
I thought I was the only person alive to have a colonoscopy without anesthesia. Never again. Prayers for your speedy recovery. You got this😊
Prayers 🙏 going up for you. You've got this ❤
May the cancer be removed, chemo, and a healthy recovery.
Attitude counts a lot. Diet, too! Wishing you the best! Nurse Kathy
My father just turned 81 years old in May 2024. He was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2010, which had spread to his liver and lung. He received most of his care at Shands in Gainesville.
You’re brave soul! I’ve always been given anesthetic during colonoscopy and especially endoscopes! I woke once, with scope in my esophagus, and tried to scream! Quickly given more anesthetic!
I’m very sorry your New’s wasn’t positive, and pray you get through treatment and are successful! 🙏🦋🙏🦋🙏
We're all with you in spirit, cheering you on 🙌🏻
Update
Right? I can’t even imagine. I know it happens all the time in other countries, but not here, It’s painful.
Warrior.💪
Thank you for raising awareness.🙏
I wish you abundant good health & happiness.🔥
I’m sorry to hear this…my suggestion to you is to look into holistic/natural ways to help your cancer by juicing and not eating foods from the center of the store. Also, gut health is really important like bone broths are very helpful. Sorry to say, but the medical side don’t really discuss much about changing what you are putting into your body like what your eating and drinking makes a huge difference. Processed foods and eating out a lot are not good choices either. There’s a saying by Hippocrates: Let thy food be thy medicine or your medicine will become your food! I’ll be praying 🙏 for you! I hope this helps someone! 🙏❤️🙏
You did the right thing, I wish you a good treatment and fast recovery. Thank you for sharing, it's so important to have endo and colonoscopy after 40.
Just wondering did you have any symptoms?
Yes, quite a few that I blew off to aging, eating habits... the full video explains it more.
I'm so sorry for the diagnosis. But your T-shirt speaks volumes about your spirit. Stay strong, keep a positive attitude, even when you're feeling down. You're a firefighter. You fight fires, so I know you can whoop cancers ass. Good Luck and God bless you and yours.❤️
Is it always adenocarcinoma in the colon?
Keep fighting, hope you are okay, well, safe and made a full recovery. Sending you much strength, love and hugs. Stay Strong. ❤❤
They put me out during mine.
Wishing you a total healing and recovery
❤🙏🏽
Hopefully this was caught early and you will get treatment and live a long long life. I have had many medical problems and my outlook was: giving up was NOT an option. I will do what I have to do for myself and my family !!! I hope this helps you. Best wishes and may God bless you on this journey !!! 😊😊😊
You look strong and robust. I believe that you will overcome this. Just have faith.
Prayers for your 100% recovery!! CA treatments have come so far since i worked in oncology…..love and blessings for you 💖🙏 daily…Liz
It’s good that you caught it rather earlier, healing and Blessings to you 🙏🌺🌼🌸
God bless you❣️ I pray you will beat the cancer!🙏💪✌️
Damn dude. You'll get through it hugs and prayers
God Bless you 🙏. You're sharing this not just for you but for all of us. Thank You! CONQUER THIS DIAGNOSIS.
Prayers for you and yours. ❤ Peace, Love & Healing.
I had my first colonoscopy back in the 90's. I was awake off and on. I could see the screen. I saw the doc burning (?) off some small polyps. Afterwards, in recovery, doc came in and spoke with my husband and mom. I had a polyp that blocked 2/3 of my colon. From what i understand, most polyps have a cap and a stem ( formed like a mushroom). Mine was all cap, no stem. He removed what was safe to remove. I went back in 6 weeks later. It had some greyish black coloring. That came back pre-cancerous. The prep work for a colonoscopy is not easy. It sure is the easy part of KEEPING things right in our bodies. 😊
I have diverticulitis it can be very painful I'm praying for you 🙏
Im Sorry about your diagnosis
Prayers for Your Healing!🙏✝️
I, too, was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma December 2015. I had surgery to remove a foot and half of my colon and they removed 21 lymph nodes to test to see if the cancer had spread. Luckily, it hadn’t so I was diagnosed stage 3. About a year later I was having chest pains so I went to the cardiologist and they found 3 tumors in both of my lungs where the cancer had spread. Stage 4. I underwent chemo which shrank the tumors and was given a year and a half to live. I changed drs and found a place that offered me the option to get ablations to burn out the tumors. I had all three ablated plus another tumor that showed up. Ive been on daily chemo with medication I take at home (4 pills). I decided to change my habits so I started walking, strength training and I CHANGED MY DIET!!!! I cut out sugar and processed foods!! I’m now in remission for 3 years and off of chemo pills!! You can do this!!!! Changing your diet will change your life!! I wish nothings but the best for you!! Sending you much love and prayers🙏❤️
I’m so sorry for your affliction. I hope the cancer isn’t in an advanced stage and that the doctors are able to get rid of it all as soon as possible. Thank you for sharing this story with us. It helps to bring awareness of colon cancer and how important it is to have the tests done at the appropriate times. I don’t know how old this video is but sending healing thoughts and prayers your way. Godspeed. ❤
Unfortunately, it is an advanced stage, but it’s not a fight that I will give up on.
@@nicksprague4685 So sorry to hear that but glad to know you’re not giving up the fight. You are very brave and I hope you have a great support system. My uncle had advanced pancreatic cancer and was told he had 6 mos to a year. That was about 6 years ago. I give you guys all the credit in the world.
Prayers for The Mighty Hand of God to heal your cancer✝️🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
