Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / December 2004Question!!
I know it may sound a little silly.... I was in the hospital in September with severe abdominal pain (curled up into the fetal position is more like it) and after a series of tests including a CT scan, they discovered I have Diverticulitis.... Are there any links between Diverticulitis and the risk for colon or colorectal cancer?  Signature"Many have forgotten this truth, but you must not forget it.

Are there any links between Diverticulitis and the risk > for colon or colorectal cancer? My Dad had bouts of diverticulitis over the last 40 years of his life. Never turned into anything worse.?? (not that it isn't nasty enough). He lived to be 88 and died accidentally? -? not from any health issues. So it doesn't necessarily mean a cancer sentence. Dorothy ? ? Thanks.... I didn't think that it made my risk any higher than it was but I have seen my grampa suffer terribly with it.... even now. at age 74, he's lived with it now for about 20 years. When I told him I have it, he said, "that's impossible! You're not even 30 yet!" I assured him that it was possible. It was then that he told me to just make sure to be checked out regularly at the doctor's office, especially where colon cancer comes into play. Knowing that I'm already predisposed to it (have an aunt who survived colon cancer) I just wasn't 100% positive just how at risk I am.

I told him chances were there was nothing to worry about. Signature"Many have forgotten this truth, but you must not forget it.

Much like breathing - its a cycle of things that is always going on ... and in healthy people this is so. this is not silly at all ... what is happening to you ... when the pain of getting better is LESS then the pain of staying sick - you will do the work of getting better. its a simple process that hurts like hell ... the applied psychophysiology interventions like traditional five element accupuncture, biofeedback, and integrative body psychotheray for example work the best ... as this is a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that is going on with you. that is it ... nothing more then ... really. look inside where the fear is and put love into it ... look inside where the pain is and put love into it ... put more love into it - until the fear and the pain and the anger and all the so called ugly fear stuff is gone ... its a simple process that hurts like hell ... I ask my higher power for help on all this myself .... good luck slykitten ... sumbuddie luvs ya :) > I know it may sound a little silly....

Sadly, there is so much bullshit in this world, as evidenced by this post MB > sure ... there are ... > [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] >> risk >> for colon or colorectal cancer? |
