The good news is that has not spread into the lymph nodes and distant organs.

90 % of the bodybuilders have the worst diet

Many prior studies have concluded that colon cancer risk can be reduced by adhering to a low glycemic diet void of hydrogenated fats and low heat cooking methods. Researchers from the Dana Faber Cancer Institute have determined that colon cancer survivors whose diet is heavy in complex sugars and carbohydrate-rich foods are far more likely to have a recurrence of the disease than are patients who eat a better balance of foods.

Sorry to hear that Emeric. I just turn 57 and count every year a blessing. I am watching my health more and more every year. Some of you young guys don't get that, but when you are getting older you really find that some little things in life doesn't matter much, but other ones do a lot. Enjoy life fully and do not complain about the little things. Life is how you make it, no matter what age you live. I have no regrets.

Can you imagine how bad is for the colon and the small intestine to do carb lording and stop drinking water and taking diuretics?

Insufficient amount of water causes constipation and toxicity in the digestive system and colon. This can lead to a wide variety of colon health issues and digestive disorders.

Stage IV cancer has metastasized (mets). Stage IVa is mets to one organ, stage IVb is mets to two or more organs. 5 year survival rates are about 11% and 8% respectively. Meaning only 8-11% of patients with this diagnosis will be alive in 5 years. It really is terrible. I feel horrible for him.

Stage I colon CA by comparison has a 93% survival rate.

You must be compliant with your colorectal screening schedule. DO NOT fuck around and miss screening because it is incovienant and you don't like shitting all day and getting a tube stuck up your ass. I don't know how much I can stress this. I know two people personally who have died from this in the past year.

If anyone in your immediate family has had colon CA or you have any other reason to believe your risk may be increased you should have your first colonoscopy at 40 or ten years younger than the age of the affected relative at time of diagnosis, whichever is earlier. Normal risk factor you start at 50 or do some of the more non-invasive screening. The other two men I know were in their 60s and one was a physician amazingly enough. Unfortunately for George he would have to have known he was high risk as he is 45. Here are the screening guidelines everyone should follow. Once you start bleeding out your ass it's likely too late and you will die a horrible death sans a miracle. Don't say you were not warned!

Recommended screening tests and intervals are—

High-sensitivity fecal occult blood test (FOBT), which checks for hidden blood in three consecutive stool samples; should be done every year.

Flexible sigmoidoscopy, where physicians use a flexible, lighted tube (sigmoidoscope) to look at the interior walls of the rectum and part of the colon; should be done every five years with FOBT every three years.

Colonoscopy, where physicians use a flexible, lighted tube (colonoscope) to look at the interior walls of the rectum and the entire colon; should be done every 10 years. During this procedure, samples of tissue may be collected for closer examination, or polyps may be removed. Colonoscopies can be used as screening tests or as follow-up diagnostic tools when the results of another screening test are positive.

Colonoscopy also is used as a diagnostic test when a person has symptoms, and it can be used as a follow-up test when the results of another colorectal cancer screening test are unclear or abnormal.

The decision to be screened after age 75 should be made on an individual basis.

If you have really good insurance or a lot of cash there is a camera pill that you can swallow now and shit out.

Rex.

Man this is terrible. I've probably had 5-6 colonoscopies at this point and will likely get one every year indefinitely, they're no fun but there is definitely peace of mind to have the biopsies done and see the results. They're also not as bad as everyone seems to think to be honest. To me the drinking is the worst...for some reason despite me drinking a gallon of water or so per day I find drinking that entire prep solution very difficult. But otherwise I just take the day off and enjoy my 3000 calorie deficit lol

A Ketogenic diet is almost mandatory if you´re fighting cancer, I pray for his recovery.

Great news.

Now I believe it takes 6 years with tests every 6 months to be considered cured.

I am happy for George and hope he stays healthy.
Also glad this thread was bumped I am scheduling a colonoscopy in the next month as my doc referred me to one a few months ago and I have been putting it off. Not 50 yet, but the doc says 45 is the age he starts looking at his patients.

Heres his update video, also mentioning one more surgery in a month, then hopes to be at the Arnold. From 140#, back up to 185... not just the physical struggle, but I can imagine the mental aspect, especially when youre a bodybuulder. Not being able to train, live your normal life and routine, to see the scale dropping, and then wonder what life will be like on the other side... good to see his success and recovery
