What is Colon Cancer

To know what is colon cancer, firstly it is important to know what is the Colon.

Now Colon is a part of our body’s digestive system, this is where the body stores waste material . The end of the colon adjacent is the rectum which leads to the anus. Both together, form an extended muscular tube which is known as large intestine which is also known as large bowel.

Colon or rectum tumors are growths that arise from the large intestines or large bowels inner wall. Large intestines benign tumor is called polyps, and large intestines malignant tumor is called cancer. Benign polyps do not have the tendency to invade tissues around and even don’t spread to different parts of a body.

Benign polyps are not at all life-threatening and can be very easily removed via colonoscopy. However if this benign polyps is not removed for a long time from large intestine it can turn into malignant. Most cancers of large intestine or the large bowel is known to be developed from benign polyps. There is even a possibility that cancer cell could break and spread from one organ to another like lungs and liver and form new tumors. Hence, colon cancer.

Globally rectum and colon cancer is third foremost reason of cancer found in men and fourth foremost reason of cancer found in women. Colon cancer is commonly found in Western world, but is relatively uncommon in Africa and Asia.

Thinking of Going for a Colon Cleanse Myself

Having written so much about colon cancer and colon cleansing, I am now also deliberating on whether I should go for a detox program at my local government clinic.

Been eating too much lately especially over this festive season (Chinese New Year), binging and overeating so much so that my stomach and abdomen areas feels very bloated and clogged .....

Heck, I hope to go back to normal eating habits after I am done with all the new year goodies LOL.

Oh well, it is good to go for a colon cleanse once in a blue moon, if it is a regular checkup which is good for the bowels/intestines anyways.

Ok, going for a full body health checkup while at it :)

Overview of What Cancer Is

To find out more about Colon Cancer first we need to know what Cancer is.

A collection of 100 or more different disease is Cancer. Cancer affects the cells which are a body’s necessary unit; Cancer usually occurs when the body cells starts behaving abnormally and split or divides without order or control. Like other organs, a human body’s rectum and colon also is made-up of several kind of cells. Generally, cells divide or split for producing more cells, this happens only when a body needs more cells. This orderly procedure helps in keeping us healthy.

If body cells keep splitting or dividing when the body does not need new cells, then a mass or collection of tissue starts forming. This mass or collection of additional tissue is called a tumor or growth, which can be malignant or benign.

Tumors which are called benign do not have Cancer. They are normally removable and in many cases they usually don’t come back. Most importantly, benign tumor cells don’t spread at all to other body parts. In extreme rare cases benign tumor can be a threat to any one’s life.

Tumors which are called malignant are the ones which have cancer. Cells which have cancer can damage and invade organs and tissues close to the tumor. Cancer cells are able to break or split away from malignant tumor, it can also enter the lymphatic or bloodstream system. Normally this is the way cancer spreads in a human body.

Colon Cleansing and Colon Cancer

The digestive system, intestines and colon’s main job and function in our bodies is to help the passage of food and return water and nutrients from food into our bodily systems and to remove the waste and toxins from the body with bowel movements.

In general, people are not eating the optimum diets that they need to keep their bodies working at peak performance rates in today’s world and our bodies are generally low in digestive enzymes which make our digestive systems and immune systems run slowly and lacking in efficiency.

When a person's fiber levels are lower than they should be the colon is not able to clean itself and our bodies of waste and toxins as well as they should be able to, this leads to a build up along the lower intestinal and colon walls of waste and toxins that can lead to further and more complicated health problems. The most serious problem that can occur when there is a build up of waste and toxins in our colon are colon cancer, this can also be hereditary so for people who have had relatives with colon cancer in their lives, a regular colon cleansing session is a very important health step to take.

With the immune system being weaker the disease is harder to fight and this is dangerous for the body.

Colon cancer is probably the most treatable form of cancer there is, it is a very common cancer and is easily avoided and dealt with as long as regular checks are made and the colon is looked after in order to keep it functioning correctly. Lowering your intake of high cholesterol and fatty foods is a basic way of preventing colon cancer and to try and promote more fiber and roughage into your diet.

Foods that are high in fats and this adds to build up of waste and is not easy to absorb into the body and should be avoided, food that are high in fiber and roughage help to collect waste and ease the passage of food throught he digestive system.

You should also be aware of the signs that would appear for colon cancer, these only generally appearing in later stages sp should be paid particular attention to, cramping, joint pain, weight loss, bloody, watery or thin stools and any weariness or fatigue.

There are many ways in which you can go about having a colon cleanse and not all of them have to be painful and invasive as tradition expects.

Herbal supplements are available that contain natural products that will help to aid digestion and raise the number of digestive enzymes present in the body and expel the waste build up from the colon. One of the most popular ingredients used in natural supplements is a plant fiber called psyllium, this is a natural plant fiber which expands in contact with water and can then cause the bowels to contract and the waste matter to be expelled through anus.

Eating right, drinking plenty of water and partaking in regular exercise should help to prevent the onset of colon cancer and problems with the digestive tract in general. As long as you are aware of the signs, have regular checks and regular colon cleanses then you will be well on your way to preventing any chance of suffering from problems with your digestion and colon in the future.

Surviving Colon Cancer

This is a video about Becky Moran who is a 2-year colon cancer survivor.

"I didn't have any symptoms and had nobody in my family that I knew of that had ever had it, so it was kind of unusual" says Becky.

Watch on about her story, hopes, fight against colon cancer and family/friend support !

Awareness is Key to Fighting Colon Cancer

Colon cancer, also called colorectal cancer, is the third most prevalent cancer in the United States. It was reported that last year alone more than 100,000 people living in the U.S. have started receiving treatment for colon cancer and this figure does not include the number of patients that succumbed to this disease in that same year. Almost 50,000 have died from it over the past year.

It is sad to think that amidst all the medical breakthroughs now available for the early detection of colon cancer, scores of people still have to die from it. Although the number of casualties is staggering, this is, in fact, a far cry from the record-high incidence of deaths caused by colon cancer back in the 80’s and early 90’s when much of the modern medical facilities we have now were still unavailable.

As with all types of cancer, the chances of anyone surviving from colon cancer is greatest when it is detected early. People who are at risk of contracting this disease should have themselves examined by a physician periodically. Men and women have about the same probability of acquiring colon cancer but there are factors that make some of us more susceptible to this disease than others.

The following conditions could make one a candidate for colon cancer:

• Mature individuals who are at least 50 years old
• Individuals who have developed cancer in the past but who may have recovered from it.
• Known family members who have suffered from either colon or rectum cancer either polyposis or non–polyposis in nature.
• If tumors have been found in your system especially along the lining of the rectum.
• If you have a medical past on any of the two inflammatory bowel diseases (either Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis)
• If you’ve observed that you have a genetic disease called familial adenomatous polyposis.

People who don’t have any of the conditions above may less likely develop colon cancer but there has been cases, although few, in which colon cancer has been found to develop in these individuals. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to your health at all times.

See to it that none of the following symptoms are bothering you for these are manifestations of colon cancer:

• Bowel movement patterns have changed
• Your weight has gone down and your normal activities easily wear you out.
• You experience pains in your belly or tummy which is gassy in nature.
• You are prone to diarrhea or constipation and that you still feel discomfort even after bowel movement.
• There is blood mixed in your stool.
• There’s a feeling of nausea frequently
• The appearance of your stool, particularly the size looks different from normal

If more than one of these symptoms are experienced it is advisable to consult a doctor. The presence of colon cancer can be determined by using any of several procedures now available and these are done to check on the rectal areas and the blood.

As said previously, the earlier colon cancer is treated the greater one’s chances are to recover from it. By knowing the nature of colon cancer and how vulnerable we are to the disease is one of the ways that we could help ourselves and maybe others too, to win over this malady.
