Hi everyone! This is a long lesson, but I hope you all enjoy it! Let me know if you have any questions. I misspoke at around 6:16 when discussing Lynch syndrome - it is autosomal dominant, but it doesn't necessarily mean that one of your 1st degree relatives (parents) had to have CRC, they could have had another type of cancer (ex. endometrial, ovarian, etc.). Want to clarify that here :) JJ

My mom got cancer the first time when I was 15, (breast). She did chemo and beat it. 13 years later while on vacation in Europe she discovered that she had colon cancer. That was in 2018 and it has now come back for the 3rd time and metastasized in her liver, lung and brain. My sweet poor mother has deteriorated rapidly in the last month so much so that she has lost eye sight, mobility and confusion. It’s heartbreaking and I wish it was me.

My heart goes out to anyone diagnosed with cancer. Too much suffering out there. I truly wish we can finally solve the riddle of cancer.

A year ago February, 2021, I fainted in a retail store. The paramedics were called and I was transported to hospital. A weeks stay I was diagnosed with a sigmoid colon tumor. Surgeon said tumor too close to rectum exit to operate. I’m a 68 year old white male, with no insurance.
I’m really struggling these days. I’m unable to do a regular bowel movement and within last two weeks, I’m unable to urinate either.
I m able to pass urine by hand massaging my lower stomach. I also have a steady drip of urine, but I have no control to stop the dripping.
Stool leaks out with no self control. Stool is always very watery. I think tumor is blocking flow.
Is there any suggestion ‘advice that I might do?
I thank you for reading my note and considering a reply.
Thank You, Chris
