What You Need to Know About Colo-Rectal Cancer - It's Your Life, Live It!

by Michael Braham

Overview

Cancer of the lower digestive tract is very common in the U.S.A, and was historically treated with drastic operations. The patient was often left with a bag on the abdomen to drain stool (a "colostomy"). Unfortunately, the death rate from the cancer was high even with these debilitating surgeries, and new research has shown some more effective ways of managing (and often curing) these cancers. These newer treatments commonly allow maintainance of normal toilet activity by avoiding colostomy. They are just as, if not more effective in producing a cure.

It is crucial to be well eductated to make the proper choices in dealing with colon or rectal cancer. This can literally make the difference between life and death. Being knowledgable gives you the peace-of-mind to know you have done everything possible to fight this disease successfully.
