How does Colon Cancer kill?

Question

I have been asking a lot of questions on here as of today, but I really need to know all this considering that i may have cancer (colon). I know that it attacks your digestive system, but how does that kill you?

Answer 1

Colon Cancer found in earlier stages is treatable and curable. If it has spread to other organs (stage IV) - usually the liver then lungs, it is the failure of these organs that causes death.

No colon cancer does not always kill. Survival depends heavily on stage and his age has very little to do with it. I see people older than 70 who survive it all the time. However, at stage 1 the 5-year survival rate is 90-95%, but at stage 4 it drops to 5%. Do you see what I mean? I wish I could tell you the fact that it is 75% of the circumference of the colon was an indication of what stage it may be, but it really isn’t. He should have work up between now and his surgery and that will give you a good idea if the cancer has spread to distant sites. You wont really know until after surgery.

Answer 3

Cancer is caused by poor nutrition (including oxygen) and stressors. Stressors can be environmental, like heavy metals, food additives or pollution, or emotional or job stress.
Our bodies have 60 trillion--yes, trillion--cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body.
It takes a LONG time, usually, or an exrtaordinary amount of stressors, to degrade the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it can spread rapidly.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that the AMA is keeping from the American public, that are being used in Europe and around the world. Here is some information that is getting hard to find--"The Cure for All Cancers", ISBN 0963632825; "A Cancer Therapy", ISBN 0882681052; "Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle", ISBN 1885236077; "The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium", ISBN 0533071410; and "Killing Cancer", ISBN 0705000966.

Type 'used books' into your browser and find a good site, then type in the ISBN numbers and get some great help cheap.

I know of people whose cancer has 'spontaneously remitted' (WENT AWAY for no known reason) after they went on a program of herbs and nutrition.

The American Medical Association and the pharmaceutical companies control medical law in this country, and they are in it for the money, and don't care about individuals. You and your family must look out for yourselves to stand a chance of being healthy.
This is not a joke. Look into it. Best of luck

Answer 4

If this is diagnosed early it can be treatable but if spread to any other organs for eg the liver then this is not very good news. My mother passed away recently of colon cancer and secondaries in the liver. She took chemo every 3 weeks for 6 months but this did not work so she was offered some more chemo this time weekly, she tried this but once again it did not work. She herself decided to stop the chemo as she was suffering a lot as she was violently sick most of the time.The time she had left she wanted to live as best as she could so she did not want any more treatment just painkillers because with that she could not go without. She stopped chemo in November 2005 and sadly passed away May 2006.

Answer 6

Colon cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the colon. When cancer is spreading it destroys the functions of your normal cells. Thus, after so much of it spreads over time, the body cannot repair fast enough to keep up with the spreading of the malignant cells and functions just break down in the body and you die. The following symptoms are the body dying slowly inside.
A change in bowel habits.
Blood (either bright red or very dark) in the stool.
Diarrhea, constipation, or feeling that the bowel does not empty completely.
Stools that are narrower than usual.
Frequent gas pains, bloating, fullness, or cramps.
Weight loss for no known reason.
Feeling very tired.
Vomiting.

Answer 7

The primary tumour will very rarely kill you, unless it is undetected and your bowel perforates, or you get an acute obstruction with ischaemia.

Colonic cancer is similar but a little different to rectal or recto sigmoid cancer. It is often easier to remove, but is also often more advanced, as symptoms are more vague. Colon cancer predominantly spreads to the liver, rectal cancer to liver and lungs. It is in these other organs, that the tumour load gradually destroys the function of the healthy liver tissue, as well as draining the body, creating the common symptoms of malaise, weight loss etc...

All is not lost if it has spread, many lesions in the liver are resectable, or ablatable, and oxaliplatin with 5fu has been shown to have excellent results.
