This probably isn't something to be asking random non-doctors. (IE, we won't know - ask a real doctor) My totally unprofessional opinion is that cancer doesn't appear "within a few days". But ignore me - I'm some random person. If you happen to be in Ontario, Canada, google "telehealth Ontario" for a phone number to call about questions. If not - dunno. Real doctor I guess.

What is the survival rate after diagnosed w/colon cancer stage 4

What is the survival rate after diagnosed w/colon cancer stage 4?

Cancer - 2 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
The 5 year survival rate is 5%
2 :
Survival is relative, none of us get out of this life alive. The question is how long might colo-rectal cancer remain in remission and that is a question for your oncologist only they know the specifics of your particular case. Any opinion here would be uneducated and probably just negative feedback.

1 :
no two different things
2 :
yes
3 :
yes it is the same thing
4 :
Yes. To be more explicit, the oncologist may tell you if it is in the small intestine, or the large intestine.
5 :
no there are small intestine & large bowel (colon, seqmoid and rectum) if its in small and localized and there are no metastasis thats good and not involved the large bowel and if in large bowel and not involved in small so its depend on the sings and symptoms of the case . dont forget no diagnosis without investigation(ct scan) (x-ray) (barium)etc.
6 :
large intestine - yes. I am an oncologist
7 :
no your bowels and colon are 2 different things unless it has spread to both of them

Could this be Colon Cancer

Could this be Colon Cancer?
So usually I'm able to crap every day, but lately like the last 5 days it's been switching from either not being able to crap that and having ribbon like crap. I don't have any other symptoms of colon cancer. I'm only 21, and have no family history of colon cancer other than a grandma had it, but it was caused by smoking for her. Okay, now I'm finding light red blood on the toilet paper... Is it just my ocd screwing with me?

1 :
It is probably your ocd screwing with you. changes in bowels can be caused by diet, stress, drugs, or some kind of germ. The blood on the toilet paper is probably from a scratch on or near your anus, or a hemorrhoid.
2 :
if you drink water and eat a fiber on a daily basis, you tend to be more regular. Perhaps your diet has fluxuated recently. I wouldn't jump to the colon cancer conclusion. Sometimes your poo can be more acidic on some days than others, causing pain, or more wipes than normal. Chaffing.
3 :
Not likely at your age. I would not worry about it if the problem has only been for the past week. The blood may be from a fissure from straining. Don't strain. If you can't poop, get off the pot, go for a walk, drink plenty of water and make sure you have some fiber in your diet. Now if you have blood in you stool, or an irritable bowel for a long period of time, you definitely need to see your doctor.

Could this be colon cancer

Could this be colon cancer?
Could this be colon cancer? I just took a crap, and my crap kinda on the flat side. Not really like ribbon like crap, but flatter than it should be. I also found random areas with light red. I'm only 20 years, and I don't have any other symtoms of colon cancer.

1 :
possible it could be or you been straining your self go see your doctor if it concerns you too much
2 :
At 20, highly unlikely.
3 :
It does not sound like colon cancer. Usually, colon cancer has no symptoms at all until it gets into the latter stages. Then you would notice a considerable weight loss, constipation and severe abdominal pain. I suggest you eat more fiber and pay attention to your diet. The light red may be blood, but that color blood usually means you're bleeding closer to the rectum. In that case, it may be a minor case of hemorrhoids. If this condition continues, you'll need to see a doctor to determine if it's something more. Parasites or diverticulitis may be something to look into.
