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.

Just got back from my semi annual appt. with my oncologist. It appears that all is well (thank God).. I found that the time does not begin until completion of chemo...In my case surgery on Dec 28/2012 chemo started in Feb. And ended  in July...so year one was July 2013 so of course July2017/represents 4 years cancer free. I will be getting another CT scan in January and complete my treatment in July of 2018.  My Faith along with proper diet and light exercise has been my key to my success.  Thank the good Lord..

What dietary changes did you make to prevent a relapse into cancer? Nutrition is so important both in prevention and treatment of cancer. Everybody knows fruit and veggies are essential and not too much red meat. Any other suggestions? God bless and keep you.

First and most Important.. Is water..to flush the toxins from the chemo....I drank 8. -12oz glasses if water daily. My diet included a banana and melons for brkfast, lunch was a garden salad with chicken and yogurt for dessert, a protein drink in the afternoon with maybe a few walnuts that I toasted with garlic powder. Dinner was some local fish with lemon juice and two cooked fresh veggies..dessert was a frozen fruit pop or jello....I also enjoyed popcorn with a bit of garlic salt...but always plenty if water and one bottle if gator Ade daily for electrolytes.....

    this is relationship #3 where a man was cheating and lying. I waited way too long to leave.. almost 2 years. Hard to believe that a man who showed remorse, went to church twice a week and attended support groups, was really a POS inside. Unreal.
