Colon Cancer Support Group

Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or bowel cancer, includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix. Many colorectal cancers are thought to arise from mushroom-like growths that are usually benign, but some may develop into cancer over time. The majority of the time, the diagnosis of localized colon cancer is through colonoscopy.

I had the follow up ct scan last Thursday. I told them not to call me with the results before I see my dr on Weds...I just don't want to be told over the phone like the last time. I just can't stop thinking the worst that the cancer was back! I tend over think everything, so I feel like I am going out of my mind.

Hey Norm, I have 3a colon cancer of the Sigmoid area also.....Tumor was removed Dec 28 2012......had 6 months of oral chemo, blood work every three weeks several ct scans an ultra sound.....chest x rays and all have come back negative... I spent a lot of time praying, and meditating, drinking 8 .12oz glasses of water daily (flush toxins) eating fruit, and veggies along with a good diet of regular foods. I'm presently in Florida (cold here) playing as much golf as I can and fishing......do not have to see a doctor until June......Have Faith and be positive, it will work it did for me...Ron
