HiThe colon is the digestive part of our body where the waste materials are storedThe colon extends up to the rectum which is adjacent to the anusThe chord between them forms the large intestineTumors are developed in the inner walls of the large intestine, resulting in colon cancerColon cancer referred to as colorectal cancer is not a contagious oneThe main causes for this cancer are; high fat intake, from a colorectal cancer affected family member, ulcerative colitisThe major symptoms of colon cancer are; narrow stools, diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, abdominal pain, cramps etcColon cancer can be detected from a lower Gi series (Barium-enema X-ray) method or by colonoscopy methodThe first method is performed after giving the patient enema with white chalky liquid containing barium and then taking x-rays, the barium leaves a path in the large intestine with dark patches indicating the tumors inside the large intestineColonoscopy is a method in which the doctor injects a white flexible tube through the anus into the rectum to view the entire colonThis is more accurate when compared to the first methodThe best method to remove the colon cancer is surgeryBy surgery the entire tumor present inside the colon is removedIf the cancer is found on the rectum, them the rectum has to be removed and the surgeon makes opening on the abdomen wall, for the waste materials to be excretedRadiation therapy and chemotherapy are also employedBut chemotherapy takes a long time to remove the infected cellsRadiation therapy is not a recommended in rectum cancerIt causes fatigue, skin irritation in the radiated areas Thanx.
My husband had his taken out several years agoHe's so happy now that he doesn't have pain from those darned attacks he had before the operationFeel better, Amy! I'm sure it will all go well and you'll be back answering with us really soon! Edit: My husband has NO problems with his stomach since the operationIt was a wonderful thing for him, because the gall bladder attacks were disabling and since then he feels greatDon't listen to those yoyos.
A quick search on google shows that it only slightly raises the riskAs a medical student I have been taught that inflammatory bowel disease, low fibre diets and genetic conditions (FAP, HNPCC) all predisposed to colon cancerI'm guessing cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal) has a negligible effect.
Gallbladder Removal And Colon Cancer
No, but it's an interesting storyWhy don't I believe it? Because it's entirely possible that the events in Point Pleasant were simply hysteriaMost likely, the two couples who initially saw the mothman did see some sort of creature, perhaps an owl or a sandhill crane, and then the other people just had overactive imaginationsBut who really knows? There are a lot of things in this world that can't be explained away, and I do find the Silver Bridge accident fascinatingI was born the day after it happened, thirteen years later.
