Brother's Colon Cancer Update
Darn, darn, darn...
My brother was still having problems and decided to go to another doctor to get his opinion. He no sooner got into the Dr.'s office and this doctor told him if he were him, he'd get himself to a hospital right away. Supposedly this doctor was not able to admit him to his facility/hospital, because they had no more room.
So my brother went back to the physician that had originally done his surgery (he saw him the same day). They ended up admitting him to the hospital immediately. He either has too much scar tissue from his original surgery or his cancer has returned. They won't know for sure until after they perform surgery! They do know that he has two blockages.
Best case scenario...it's just scar tissue, that they will remove. He'll have to have a colostomy again for about six months if that is the case.
Worse scenario...his cancer has returned, he'll have to go through everything again (chemo/radiation) and will wear a colostomy bag for his remaining days.
The lead-up to all of this was that he had attended a funeral service a couple of weeks ago where my sisters were also present. They said he had lost about 50 lbs. and his skin looked really thin.
Apparently, he had been going without eating or drinking anything during the day because it caused too many problems if he did.
One of his big concerns right now is that he doesn't have his 90 days in at his new job (that's why he was putting off going to see a doctor). Now he doesn't know if he'll even have a job when it's all said and done.
This, in my opinion, is what happens all too often when you opt for the slash and burn method of treating cancer without also attacking bad eating habits. Mind you, your immune system is already down from the chemo and radiation, the medical industry does nothing to address this as far as recommending a healthier diet that's going to assist your body in rebuilding your immunity system.
Anyone who has had cancer should be watching their pH, eating to rebuild their immunity system, and keeping all toxic foods (sugar, white flour, caffeine, dairy, etc.) out of their body.
I just wish that one of those doctors would put it to him straight, since my trying to convince him hasn't worked. If it came from one of his doctors, it would hold more weight with him, unfortunately (and I know that's how most people think).
Will post further results after his surgery in a couple of days.
