I know one guy in his 70's who suddenly died of it. He had a ruptured colon called a ? (the name eluded me) and after 1 day in the hospital he was dead. I guess from the poisoning that flooded his abdomen. It was because he had cancer and either did not know it, or did not go to the doctor out of fear he might have it due to problems he maybe kept to himself without telling his sister about, whom he lived with. I am guessing he did not like hospitals.
Now my next door neighbor, about 73, just got the same thing. He too had the rupture and they had to do emergency surgery. Here 3 days earlier, he was talking to me out the window of his pickup and seemed his normal self. And before that I never ever saw him double over or grimace, ever. Months back he borrowed my Kevin Trudeau book and now I figure that he knew something and was hoping for an easy cure. He lived. So far. But it don't look good. He was in intensive care for like 2 weeks after the surgery. I saw that he was home but now he disappeared again. He has to wear one of those bags now. I heard the cancer spread to his stomach. Not good.
And when you are 50 they want you to go in for colorectal exam every year or two as this is a big killer.
And you hear other countries have way less incidence of this than us, and they blame it on our food. (Like maybe all the fatty stuff we eat, or food additives that are not 'natural' to our bodies perhaps?). But I'm wondering if they have made an association with drugs. Drugs are also unnatural to our bodies over evolutionary time, probably.
And while I'm on this medical query, I have often wondered if hospitals do (participate in) all they can to help make associations between body types, lifestyles, etc., by photographing people or otherwise listing traits of a person, and entering this plus everything known about a person's lifetyle with their occupation, food intake, where they live, in relation to finding common denominators for cancers in general. Or even heart disease.
I believe that every person who has medical problems that are major, where they could help medical science, that we have to learn everything about people to get to the botom of all these problems, as we are spending/wasting? billions on research, where maybe this research could be expedited more efficiently through better provided information. We need people who work in hospitals, like orderlies, who survey patients and family members and that would be their job. We really need this (don't we?). It needs to bve required, IMO!
