Having cancer puts a person in a hypercoagulable state meaning that they are more prone to forming blood clots. Many cancer patients develop deep vein thromboses and pulmonary emboli. They can also form clots that travel to the brain causing strokes or CVAs and clots to the heart such as a heart attack or MI.

Yes, they can deny treatment. Family and friends would not be shocked but they may be heartbroken for the rest of their lives. As long as the patient is aware of the options and the fact that at some point in time better choices may become available . . there are always new options coming up . . so it is possible a patient would make a decision to not pursue treatment only to have a new treatment become available to save the colon . . but it would be too late for that patient. Cancer patients always live with the knowledge that medical research changes constantly and what isn't available today may be available next year. It takes more courage to live under those circumstances. But again, it is an individuals choice.

It very well could be the toxic drugs (side effects) that the person took to treat the colon cancer. Pharmaceutical drugs are very dangerous, much more so than the diseases they're intended to cure. There are natural methods to treating every disease, even cancer, but the pharmaceutical industry and the government have a lot of money to make off these drugs; thus, the FDA approves them and we die from them.

Some treatments in general can lead to a low defense state in your body and can cause another bad condition, because of that you have to follow all the instructions and preventions of your physician. for esample exposure to strong emotions is bad after any cancer treatment or during it.
