When I DID have insurance, I asked for one and my doctor said no. She wouldn’t even examine my colon maybe because I don’t fall into the stereotype of the older male patient who get VIP treatment.

How many people do you know who remain cool and unaffected at the prospect of undergoing colon cancer surgery? Not many I assume. A chlorophorm smelling operation theatre, the surgeon and his assistants with their mouths covered and carrying scalpels that are glistening under the bright lights of the operation theatre – a common imagery we come across in every other Hollywood film. And a shudder runs through our spine on thinking about colon cancer surgery. This often makes us…

Colon cancer warning signs should not be taken lightly. As we get older, it is important to know about and be able to recognise the warning signs of colon cancer.
