What kind of colitis? If you have something like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) whether Crohns disease or ulcerative colitis then you may develop colon cancer. A family history of colon cancer (your dad) adds to the risk. How old are you? How old was your dad when he was diagnosed with colon cancer? Might want to ask your doctor about getting a colonoscopy for cancer surveillance.
2 :
No doubt your risks MAY be higher but not necessarily because of your genes. It may simply be due to eating the same diet that you dad eats. Poor diet is the single biggest cause of colon cancer. Read what it says at the Colon Cancer Foundation's website here: http://www.coloncancerfoundation.org/prevention.htm Also from Dr. Fuhrman: http://drfuhrman.com/company/pr_2005_9_28.aspx And something about colotis http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/digestive-health-diet-high-in-omega6-fats-increases-risk-for-ulcerative-colitis.html I once suffered from diverticulosis. The doctors will tell you that there is no cure. Well, after I started eating the way that Dr. Fuhrman recommends, I no longer have a problem. I use to pass blood for 10 days whenever I ate popcorn or strawberries and other such foods but not anymore. I can eat those foods now with no problem because I eat a nutritarian diet. https://www.drfuhrman.com/library/are-you-a-nutritarian.aspx

I don't think people are afraid to do it, he is just yet another pawn in the game of global corporate profit.

Let's see...you've got racism, anti-semitism, a disgusting body part, a reference to a deadly disease and an indictment of the courage of the American people all in under 20 words!
4 :
And you probably wonder why people call you racist. Some people don't know anything. You don't even suspect anything.
5 :
What criticisms of Colin Powell are you talking about? Do you understand the difference between criticism and bigotry? Criticism means disagreeing with someone's ACTIONS, bigotry means disagreeing with someone's ATTRIBUTES (like race or religion). His actions have been criticized by all kinds of people, but his attributes have ONLY been criticized by bigots.

What web site can i go on to find the early detection for colon cancer

What web site can i go on to find the early detection for colon cancer?

go to webmd.com and search it..
2 :
I would just try webmd, that's a good place to start. If you're concerned, one easy test that you should take is the OBT (occult blood test). This is a test where your feces is inspected to find trace amounts of blood that might indicate a lesion of the bowels. I get this test each year with my phsyical, it is one great test for early detection I tell you. I am a nurse and know of one man who got the test from his doctor but never did it until it was too late, he had to have surgery and stuff to remove the cancer later on down the road, I'm not sure if he had a full recovery but better to find something sooner than later. God bless

I would go get a second opinion from someone else just to ease your mind.
2 :
You can't just throw chemo in there--they need to find out what it is on his liver. Yes, the cancer could come back and could come back in another place other than the colon. It's something I have worried about on/off since my breast cancer in 1999. Get the doctors to check him out thoroughly!
3 :
I would defiantly go for a second opinion, if it was one of their family members, themselves or friends they would have that spot checked in heartbeat. You and your husband deserve to know if the spot is worrisome or just a spot but just by looking at it and not have concrete proof, its best to have it checked. Call the doctor's office that said not to worry and ask for a referral or tell them you want a second opinion, not that you don't trust them you just need (and deserve) peace of mind. Its scary to have to go through things like that and its easier said than done when someone says not to worry. Good Luck, keep us posted!

Why the meprobamate 400 used in treatment of last-stages-of-colon-cancer

1 :
It isn't used as treatment for any cancer. It's used for anxiety DISORDERS. The stress of everyday life does not qualify for its use, but I can see it being used for severe anxiety that comes with the stress of having cancer, BUT can not see justification in it being used in an end of life treatment.
2 :
Meprobamate has no anticancer use but it is given as anxiolytic in last stage cancer. MEPROBAMATE (EquanilÂ®, MiltownÂ®, TrancotÂ®) has a sedative action that can cause relaxation and help reduce tension or anxiety. It is recommended for short-term use only. Meprobamate is sometimes used as a sedative before surgical procedures. Federal law prohibits the transfer of meprobamate to any person other than the patient for whom it was prescribed. Generic meprobamate tablets are available.

Stop worrying so much.

I don't think cancer is age related. My mother died of colon cancer in her 20's and they suspect she'd had it for awhile. I'm 41, and haven't had colon cancer, but did have skin cancer. Illness and disease can happen to anyone.
3 :
OK, my husbands dad died from colon cancer. So did a couple of his dads brothers. So, it tends to run in families but, not always. But, if it is a father, mother, sister or brother you will be treated that way, meaning you will, or should, be screened earlier and more ofter especially after the age of 40. Insurance pays for the first colonoscopy at age 50. So, a Dr. would need to check you and determine whether or not you are at risk and then convince your ins. co. to pay for it because of that. My husband had one each yr. for 3 yrs. He had polyps removed this yr. and they did a second one in 3 mos. to get out one that was difficult and to make sure it did not grow back in 3 mos. So, the Ans. is yes, at a certain age. hope this helped someone!
4 :
People with familial adenomatous polyposis develop hundreds of colon polyps in their teenage years. If they have a first degree relative with colon cancer at a young age, it is important that they get screened early by a physician.
5 :
colon cancer isn't common when you're that young
