Colon Rectal Cancer

CoLon Cancer includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix.

31.	Colon Cancer - The Digestive System Killer  2007-03-20 22:46:13 The large intestine, which includes the colon and the rectum, is large not in length (the small intestine is about 3 times longer) but in its width (about 5cm). This tube, some 150-200cm in length, connects the small intestine at one end with the anus at the other.
32.	Colon Cancer: Blocked Colon Relieved by Herbs  2007-03-20 22:44:53 The colon of an 82-year-old lady was blocked by a cancerous tumour. She declined immediate surgery and opted for herbal therapy instead. It is more than a year and three months now and she remains healthy and leads a normal life.
33.	Color Cancer: Vegetable-state Terminal Cancer Brought Back to Life by Herbs  2007-03-20 22:44:09 Poh had colon cancer. She underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Her legs weaken and her entire person lost strength. She could not walk and had to be confined to the wheelchair. She was eventually reduced to bone and skin, being unable to even sit up or turn her head. She took herbs and within weeks her health was restored and she now lives a normal life.
34.	Colon Cancer: Three Cancer Attacks and He Became Cancer-free After Herbs  2007-03-20 22:43:22 Yap suffered three cancer attacks and was operated on thrice. He underwent chemotherapy and one radiotherapy – the cancer came back again. Eventually Yap found a cure in the rodent tuber. He said: "I refused to accept defeat. Life was too precious to be destroyed by the enemy within. I had to fight cancer physically, emotionally and psychologically. And I won."
35.	Colon-Liver Cancer: Medically Written-off Patient Lived Longer After Chemotherapy and Herbs  2007-03-20 22:42:28 Ben was diagnosed with colon cancer which later spread to his liver. He was asked to prepare his will. The doctors gave Ben two months to live. After chemotherapy he took herbs. His appetite and health improved. Ben died after a year, three months and eighteen days.
36.	Colorectal Cancer: Can Diet and Herbs Out-perform Chemotherapy?  2007-03-20 22:41:29 The perception I had was without chemotherapy, colorectal cancer patients would die -- if not all of them, at least a great majority of them. But research data does not support that perception. The difference of five-year survival between chemotherapy and no chemotherapy group is only 8% or 13.5 %. Can this slim margin not be achieved by some other non-invasive and non-toxic means?
37.	Colorectal Cancer Part 6: Chemotherapy for the Elderly -- Is It Worth It?  2007-03-20 22:40:45 The difference of benefits between chemotherapy and no chemotherapy was 7%. This benefit of increased survival comes with toxic side effects. While the younger patients might be able to tolerate the side effects, I wonder if the elderly would want to go through such “sufferings.” To the oncologists and researchers, the results were “statistically significant,” but from the viewpoint of patients, I wonder if it worth it?
38.	Colorectal Cancer Part 5: Review of Medical Literature: Not All Patients Benefit From Chemotherapy  2007-03-20 22:39:50 After surgery, microscopic cancer cells are still left behind in the body. As an “insurance policy” patients are told by their oncologists to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy (or both). The idea is to kill whatever cancer cells are left behind. But how effective is this? How valid is the assumption that chemotherapy can just do that?
39.	Colorectal Cancer Part 4: A Story of How a Patient is Being Misled by His Oncologist  2007-03-20 22:26:34 I am not against chemotherapy per se. I must say, however, that I am not agreeable to the “indiscriminate” use of chemotherapy. Even more so, if the cards have not been laid out clearly on the table. Unfortunately in some cases, patients are being misled. This is one sad story of how a patient was taken for a “ride” by his oncologist.
40.	Colorectal Cancer Part 3: Must You Die if You Do Not Undergo Chemotherapy After Surgery?  2007-03-20 00:00:24 It is a standard practice or golden rule so to say, that after surgery, patients are asked to undergo chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. Sometime, when the doctor does not think chemotherapy is indicated, the patients themselves do not feel safe. Think seriously about these two real life stories presented here.
