I Ignored the Signs - Jason | Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer | The Patient Story
For months, Jason explained away stomach issues, thinking it was IBS like loose stools, constipation and seeing spots of blood on toilet paper, until the bleeding got worse. He finally went to the doctor and tests and biopsies later revealed a stage 4 colorectal cancer cancer diagnosis with metastasis to the liver.

I Ignored the Signs - Jason | Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer | The Patient Story
Jason’s STAGE 4 COLORECTAL CANCER Story: "I IGNORED the SIGNS!" | The Patient Story
• I Ignored the Signs - ...
I was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer when I was 37. After a lot of chemo and a lot of surgery I am CANCER FREE!! There will be times you want to give up but stay strong and keep fighting.
How long have you been cancer free/in remission? That is amazing news, congratulations!! ❤ I have throat cancer and the PET scan revealed something in my colon with enlarged lymph nodes. Metastasis from my throat cancer was ruled out in another scan specifically for it. I have had symptoms of IBS, with the exemption of blood in my stool. 2 years ago I had a colonoscopy and they didn’t find anything. Now that the PET scan has showed something, my doctor now wants to run more tests… I do have a family history of Crohn’s and this sort of thing can show up and mimic colon cancer so I am not too freaked out yet. However they also found 10+ lesions in my liver (which appeared suddenly which is alarming) that they are investigating but so far are saying these are benign… I am 32. So sorry you went through that and so happy I saw your comment. It gives me hope if I do end up being diagnosed!
@iSheree I have been cancer free since August of 2023 so not long. I'm glad your Dr is staying up on this and looking further into it. I will pray for you. It's been a very long and hard road but with good Dr.'s and the strength of my family and friends I made it. I was only 86 lbs at one point and the surgeon told my family he wouldn't operate anymore and to take me home to see my kids. Basically go home and see how long I last. I came home forced myself to gain weight back and he ended up doing further surgery. I also went to UC for a possible living donor for my liver but ended up going to Cleveland clinic for a resection. My point is no matter how dark it gets keep pushing and let your people fight for you when you can't. Your life is worth going to the ends of the earth to save. If you have any questions along the way please feel free to reach out. I will help as much as I can.
@@brandyfoster596 thank you so much for your kind words and wisdom! I have been fighting my throat cancer since April 2023 and it was in August 2023 that they told me that all those things in the PET scan weren’t from that cancer! They haven’t been able to figure out what is going on since. I am a medical mystery right now. I have been so sick for a few years now but it could well be an autoimmune disease mimicking cancer. I hope so anyway because I was born disabled, made more disabled due to hospital negligence at 3 months old, developed debilitating chronic illnesses along the way and broke my neck at 17 which triggered multiple autoimmune diseases. Having cancer is just an inconvenience at this point but just when I thought it can’t get any worse in my life, I could have more than one cancer right now. I have fought hard my whole life and will continue to fight. ❤️ Congratulations on beating stage 4 cancer that is quite the achievement!!
@iSheree that's a lot to go through and I'm sorry it's been so hard. I am glad to hear you are a fighter. You are strong and brave. You got this!
@@brandyfoster596 thank you and you are so brave and strong too! My cancer does not respond well to chemo (I have been having surgeries and a form of radiation therapy and a drug that I have to take for the rest of my life) so I can’t imagine having chemo but I could be soon. 😢 Also the thought of having a liver resection while so ill, is scary. I hope I can be as strong as you were and get through it if this is my fate too. Thank you for sharing your story I now have more hope and will fight harder. ❤️
I want to personally say a prayer for all who is dealing with this disease. I pray for all of your healing and full recovery amen 🙏
Amen.🙏🏼💜
Much respect to you God bless you!
Thank you 😢you are so kind and loving
Amen 🙏
Why don't you ask your god why he created cancer?
I have a family member who was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer more than 20 years ago. It had spread to the liver. This family member actually did have a liver transplant after the colon cancer was gone. And is still around, as I said, more than 20 years later!
😮
I feel sad for people having to “explain” why they ignore symptoms too long… it’s normal to rationalize them away especially after past experiences with doctors when they tell you ‘Oh it’s nothing. Probably just stress. Don’t worry about it etc…’ over and over again
This!

Exactly! Doctors told me that for years ! And because of my husband they pushed through and they saw a tumor in my small intestine 😉. It is small so they want to leave it and just follow up …. Even when they discover something sinister; you often still have to advocate for yourself.
Agree completely
It's annoying how many don't know anything about nutrition, and so may of them treat people like children, and it's like an overpriced oil change, I'm a hypochondriac basically, with logic, and I won't even go, and I don't want more bills lol. The pushing of the latest meds with the least research and proven results is another red flag, kickbacks.
I am a bowel cancer survivor. I was diagnosed 2019 with a large tumour in my sigmoid colon. It has been a long hard road, but suddenly I'm almost done! 2024 will be my year of being cancer free. Much love and healing to you my friend. ❤❤
Want to go to heaven? Trust Jesus Christs Life, death, burial, and Resurrection alone. His death on the cross for your sins. He shed his precious blood to atone for your sin! You can't be saved unless you acknowledge that you're a lost sinner.. and that you deserve hell, and that Jesus Christ died for your sins.. he was your substitute. His blood is your payment. If you don't plead guilty, you will have to pay your sins yourself (eternity in Hell) All you have to do is trust in him..( asking him to forgive you and save you) and you can spend eternity in heaven with God. It's personal. You can have His righteousness transferred to your account so you don't have to be judged for your own sins?( instead you get judge based on his righteousness.) Don't trust mary, don't trust your baptism, don't trust your church membership, don't trust your good works/goodness. Salvation is in Jesus Christ alone nothing more. Eternal life is a free gift and Jesus paid it All. Christians are good because we love him, not to earn our way to heaven. There is so much fake christianity, many people who have tried to work their way to heaven as a fake Christian will get cast down to hell because they're trusting in their own good works and not Jesus Christ alone.
Did u have constant diarrhea!? I'm serious, I think there's something wrong with me
then go to your doctor... don't mutter about it on the internet @@necron99.aka-sammyboy92
@necron99.aka-sammyboy92 what are you feeling on a day to day basis ? Any updates ..
@necron99.aka-sammyboy92 you need to see a Doctor. Bowel cancer has many symptoms, and so do a lot of other bowel disorders. Please see a doctor!
I had bloody stool and cramping starting 2 years ago. Im 37 now and got a colonoscpy and endoscopy. Turns out it was IBS. I drastically changed my diet and eat within my limits. My point is. If anyone is scared of getting checked, DO NOT BE. I have been scared before and its not always something bad. Plus, for your own sake, get checked!
Can IBS cause rectal bleeding? Or is it IBD?
Can I ask what kind of diet your on now. Thanks
I've always been too scared to get checked for anything. Not sure why. I feel like someone else needs to make me go.
usually for IBS or GI issues GI'S put u on a low FODMAP diet... low carb low to no sugars gluten free and so on it's very strict but it is attainable....!@@MyChallenge-StartsToday
@@TurdFurgeson275 Omgsh, this is me 1000%. I'll fall apart before I go in for anything. I am petrified of going in and getting bad news! Scared 😥😓
The amount of people that feel well until diagnosis is terrifying.
My late husband was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer after several months of misdiagnosis, he was 42. He passed away just hours after his first chemo treatment. The chemo was too strong for his heart. Prayers going up for you. ❤
I'm sorry. 42 yrs old is way too young to die. I pray that they can figure out a better way to diagnose and treat cancer one day.
Oh my God. I am so sorry to hear that.
I'm sorry for your loss. You are so brave, cheering on others!
I am so sorry for you 😢
Sorry to hear that
Damn. I'm rooting for this man. He's between positive & so matter of fact. Bless him.
My identical twin brother was diagnosed in early 2021 at age 49 with Stage III rectal cancer and a tumor on his rectum. After surgery and chemo, he continued to get chemo till repeated scans found more and more tumors. He fought bravely but I lost him 12/15/23. Wishing the best for you.
Sorry for your loss... we have to make eating healthier more convenient and cheap to keep this from happening to more people.
@slyguyaction I am an identical twin and I can only imagine what kind of heart rending pain it would be to lose my brother, others can't fathom it, having a similarly aged brother since you were -0.75 years, its a different level of attachment, I hope I die before my brother
Rest In Peace to your Brother🕊🙏
consider that it might not just be diet.@@erinbosch5915
Nothing of value was lost.
I was diagnosed stage 3 in 2013. I pestered my doctor as soon as I saw blood - and was fobbed off as ‘too young/women of 40 just don’t get bowel cancer’ but I ‘knew’ - I didn’t have weight loss or extreme tiredness etc. All I had was blood and constipation followed by diarrhoea. After years of of complaining he finally referred me for a sigmoidoscopy & was told immediately I had a 7cm tumour in my rectum. I had that removed 10 years ago today - after radiotherapy & chemotherapy pre-op followed by adjuvant chemo & stoma reversal 18 months later. I’m so glad I nagged or I wouldn’t be here today
I will say it lightly. PHUCK the ignorant doctors for dismissing patients due to sex and age. That is the major issue with these ignorant, arrogant so called professional doctors. They are the real quack doctors!
Congratulations on your victory. Insane they are still saying “too young.” People are getting younger, and outcomes are getting worse.
I’m 42 and have red blood all over the bowl and I’m scared shitless to go to a doctor. I am terrified.. I got a 4 year old daughter I can imagine leaving her behind. I have health insurance but no courage .. Listening to you scared me even more but also opened my eyes, you are right I need to go to the doc. I wish you the best, I hope you get better and beat cancer.
😢just go to the doc. Its better to know then to have your precious baby lose you completely unexpectedly. I know youre scared and its ok to be. You are loved and you are needed. Just go. Stay strong ❤❤❤❤
Get check out ASAP, a school friend ignored symptoms he had until he collapsed, all because he was terrified of going to the Dr, he had throat cancer and it was too advanced by then, please get it seen to
Please go, it’s best just to go and get it checked rather than live with the worry hanging over you. All the best.
Ivermectin and fenbendazol
Just go.. you might be lucky and just have diverticulitis or internal haemorrhoids .. it isn’t necessarily cancer 🤗
It’s so valuable when people give these accounts of the real signals of cancer rather than some generalised list. Thank you
Yes! Often, I sit and patiently wait for information and only hear, “I don’t know. I just didn’t feel right,”. or, “Trust me. If you have it, you’ll know.” I’ve had really serious problems I heard that about and didn’t “know.” This guy was so helpful!
I think there is just something about the food that's causing cancer
Whole food plant based is the way to go. Not just for gut health, but general physical and mental health.
I lost my sister and a friend to colon cancer. My sister had no symptoms until right before diagnosis. She tried chemotherapy and hated it and decided to live her life to her best ability. 14 months later she left this world. I now get colonoscopies every 5 years.
How old was she? I'm so sorry for your loss.🙏🏻❤️
@@Pan472 She was 63
@@karenashton5053 My condolences ❤️
Now they say every 3 years with strong family history.
I had a patient that you remind me of. Came in to get viagra. He was very behind on all his routine medical care. I said ok to viagra but to continue needed regular screening. Turns out we found colon cancer, stage 3. He was successfully treated and was so grateful that I insisted on routine screening.
Had a friend that was diagnosed with the same type of cancer in stage 4 the doctors in Florida told him it was terminal. The company he worked for sent him to M D Anderson in Texas. He is cancer free and is still working 10 years later. I would strongly advise M D Anderson for a second opinion. Prayers!
Second person in this comment to recommend MD Anderson
I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer at 16 years old multiple surgeries and chemo I’m now 32 years old I hope the best for u and everyone else dealing with this horrible cancer
Wow I can't imagine going through that at only 16! I'm so glad to hear you're now 32 and doing well! You are strong!
@@nameunknown5736 yes it was pretty rough at the time I didn’t think I could get colon cancer being so young but my dad also had it so that’s why I got it but thanks so much for
I've watched many patient stories on this channel, and I had no idea that so many people have survived stage 4 cancer! It gives me hope for this terrible disease if I ever have to deal with it.
Well, colon cancer is extremely slow progressing, so hopes to survive it are really high. Wish it was the case for other types of cancer as well...
Once it spreads to the liver, your long-term prognosis is poor.
Not stage 4, it's like 5% survival @@Pan472
keep going!!!!
@@Pan472 I think you mean polyps are slow progressing into cancers, my understanding is that colorectal cancer is the third highest form of cancer fatalities .
Brother. You ARE an example of what a warrior is. GOD BLESS!
Keep fighting, FUCK CANCER. I had gotten stage 3B Colon Cancer before I caught it, I was lucky and a year and half out cancer free. My thoughts are with you. Love you brother.
what did you do to get rid of it ?
Had part of my colon removed, and 6 months of chemo. @@daniellogan8825
My Husband is surviving- for 8yrs now from S4 CC w/Mets to his liver. 💯💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Jason, you're one of the strongest men I've seen. I mean it, no BS. I have watched entire video, which I almost never do. So interesting, the way how you tell your story, wow! Honestly, you made me take your advice very seriously and I will talk to my GP. This was probably the best video about cancer I've ever watched. Thank you, Jason. I really hope, I wish, it all ends up great for you, man.
I was diagnosed with Stage III CRC in 11/2020. However, the tumor was able to be removed before Chemo. Since then I have completed 12 treatments of FOLFOX and 12 treatments of FOLFIRI + Avastin. No radiation (yet). Also have had a Prostate biopsy (no fun) and Liver cauterization of a small spot. My 3rd CATScan is scheduled in about 3 wks. Hoping for the best. You advocated for yourself much better than I did. I pray that BOTH of us will be freed from this monster.
You are so brave to come on here and tell us all your story. Thank you. Don’t ignore symptoms…get checked. Praying for you. Your cats are beautiful. ❤
I was diagnosed with colon cancer stage 3a back in 2016, they removed around a foot of my colon and did a resection and then 6 months of chemotherapy, I’m in my 8th year of being cancer free, if not for my wife staying on me to get screened I probably wouldn’t be here today, my sister died from colon cancer at age 47, I was 56 when I was diagnosed, I was having no symptoms at all, that’s why I kept telling my wife I was fine, finally I went to be screened, after I woke up from colonoscopy and told what was going on I was blown away because I felt fine. I just want you to know I’m gonna be praying for you and asking the Lord to heal you like I believe he’s done for me. God Bless you Jason.
My sister was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at 35...it had already mastesized to her liver...it was operable but, it was also in her hip and lungs. She went through so much in the 7 yrs she lived after finding it. She had symptoms earlier but who would have thought at her age it would be cancer. She thought it was so many other things. She also worked for a gastroenterologist. I do believe not overlooking ANY changes. I know if she had found it earlier by going to her Dr...she would still be here. Ever since that day she found out I was in for my 1st colonoscopy at 38...now Im 58 and just had my 5th one. Its so easy and worth it to have. Early detection will save your life. Dont be afraid people.
I must have a colonoscopy soon. I'm terrified. Any suggestions to make it easier and me less anxious pls❤
Was she having bad diet? Because people getting this early is what they put in the foods. The gov wants ppl out of here
I’m battling colorectal cancer as well it’s very tough keep your head up keep working keep fighting hopefully clinical trials wil help me. Good luck Sir.
Best of luck with the clinical trials! ❤️
God Bless you🙏🙏🙏
Colon cancer is not as bad as stomach or pancreatic cancer. It still can be lethal but it’s slower.
No sugars more vegetables no meat seems to help.
Cancer consumes glucose to grow. Cancer cells have 10 times the glucose receptors as healthy cells. Use intermittent fasting and Keto diet and you starve cancer. I'm 8yrs out from rectal C. Last Oct I began seeing blood in my pee bag and became anemic. The PHX VA imaged a "mass" in the left kidney. They refused to biopsy and told me all they would do is wait til it was larger, then resect the entire kidney... Butchers.... A friend who's been fighting prostate cancer sent me a bottle of Fenbendazole and after a week of one per day, the bleeding stopped. You can kick cancer in the sack, but your doctor may be less than helpful. Surgery left me with a crap-bag, no sex function, and a large hernia at the ostomy site. Not worth it. I'd rather be taking the dirt nap than live this way. Good luck ..
My mom beat cancer in her 40's. So every 6 months she would get checked. Well she hurt her back between checkups and when they scanned her they found it everywhere. Liver, bones, lungs and brain. She went from a 8-9 month prognosis with chemo to dying with a few days. It was so aggressive she was healthy to bed ridden in a week. And a week later dead. Very sad. We had some time to say good bye. But not enough time
Watching this type of content makes me never want to be a father. How much suffering do people have to go through in their lives ? This poor man should have never had to deal with this stuff. I hope he lives a happy life after this with no more pain .
Prayers for you and your family ❤
Really great post! Honest, real, and relatable!
I just this afternoon got the results from my colonoscopy I had done last week….thank God my polyps were precancerous and I PRAISE God especially at 75 years young. What a ignorant woman I’ve been…that was SO scared a getting a colonoscopy… Get it done…. May God Bless you and prayers 🙏🙏🙏. Your testimony was so powerful and May Our Lord Jesus bless and heal you all🙏🙏🙏
I wish I could get it done. I needed it done so long ago, as I've had terrible colon problems for years now. Everytime I try to take any laxative or colonoscopy regimen, it makes my heart race and I get dizzy then almost pass out, cause I have many other health issues as well. My doctors can't seem to find a way to help me around this issue. I'm afraid I may have colon cancer or something terrible like that but I won't know til its too late cause the only way to have a colonoscopy is to get fully cleaned out. And I can't do it...I've tried. I just wonder if I'm the only person who is dealing with these same issues and can't do anything about it??
@@artandrea5348mmmm in Belgium of a patient is not clean; the can give something that cleans out the poop. You should insist for help
@artandrea5348 Virtual colonoscopy is also known as screening CT colonography. Unlike the usual or traditional colonoscopy, which needs a scope to be put into your rectum and advanced through your colon, virtual colonoscopy uses a CT scan to take hundreds of cross-sectional pictures of your belly - Mayo Clinic
I just got my colonoscopy scheduled. I’m 34 and had some symptoms for awhile. These kinds of channels have motivated me to actually go get checked out. I trust the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and his son Jesus….whatever he has planned. But I do pray it is normal. Thank you for making this video.
They cut my cancer ♋️ out with my colonoscopy
If you want to help your gut, look into Kefir. I struggled myself with IBS with loose stools. No blood or anything, but lots of gas, bloating and loose stools. I discovered Kefir which is like Yogurt. I found a local cow farm that sells Raw milk and got some Kefir grains on Amazon and after about 2 weeks, I felt all the inflammation go down. I no longer have Gerd, or IBS. The stools are finally solid and have an amazing sense of well being. Now, I've gone from Kefir to fermenting other things like carrots, onions and pickles. So good.
thats the key right there. and not eating like a 21st century american....
Thank you for telling your story. Praying for you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Your the man!! Best of luck!
I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor it' has been 8 years now I had surgery and then 13 rounds of chemo been cancer free for 8 years. go to a Dr who specializes in Colo rectal surgery mine had spread to my liver also and had a s Dr who specializes in liver surgery thank you cleveland clinic
God bless and great to hear! 🙏🏻 what was ur main symptoms at first to make u get checked out

This is really scary, thank you for this story.
Happy to hear you've come through that really difficult time, and thank you for sharing your story Jason, lots of luck to you!
tough dude.. keep it up man. love to hear success stories like yours
Sorry you are going through all this. Cancer is cruel. Do love how you love cats. They bring so much joy through good, and not so good times.
I so admire you! I'm proud of your strength. You are delightful. ❤️
Glad you are doing better.
Just lost a friend who never got checked or ignored the signs. Keeping you my prayers man🙏
All the very best to you fella, wish you good luck for the future🙌
Hey thank you for your factual openness in sharing your story. I love how you take control and totally get the middle finger theme. Your experiences and the way you found treatments is inspirational especially as most doctors in the uk start off by going 'are you losing weight?' 'Have you lost your appetite?' As an initial basis of diagnosing the seriousness of disease, obviously they then do blood tests etc but if you are in any way ignorant of facts like what you are so kindly and caringly sharing, people could then go off with a false sense of security. It's so easy to feel like you're making things up in your head or you're being a hypochondriac. I wish you all the best and hope you come back and keep us updated on things you've learned and shared. I'm sure you've saved many lives through this video. 🤗 Thank you and your family too
What a remarkable man!
God bless you Jason x Thankyou for sharing your story and I send you love and prayers for a swift recovery - all the way from N.Ireland x ❤️✨🙏
Thank you for your courage to tell your story. It helps so many people know they aren't alone and that there's hope. Wishing you continued healing ❤

Keep up your good attitude!! My prayers go out to you!!🙏🙏🙏
Glad your scans look good! Thanks for stepping outside yourself to give others information
Gosh I just feel like it’s only a matter of time before I have to deal with cancer because it just seems so common it’s wild! I’m just so sorry for everyone who is fighting this crap. Hugs to you all
Man you are a hell of a fighter. Kudos.
Thanks Jason. You are in my prayers.
Thank you for your straight up honesty and wishing you all the best.

Incredible work...Thank you!
Oh my gosh…Your story is so inspiring! I pray for your continued healing and happiness. ❤
You are so strong and will do well... Blessings to you❤
Thank you for sharing and raising awareness
So glad to hear you doing good buddy. Weird this apprared in my videos. I often think about stuff like this. Ive been constipated for years for various reasons.hemoroids have become a close friend so i also see blood fairly regularly but like you said blame it on different things. I also in more recent months get random pains mostly down left side of my guts.fleeting pain i guess. I convinced myself to mention to the doc this year '24 so he did bloods. My kidney n liver he said were good. I was shocked and happy to hear this. I didnt really tell him about pains or blood tho. I always feel bloated and full of gas and just kinda unconfortable i guess is best way to describe it. Like not really feeling like eating much or enjoyinf food anymore. Watching your story/video has made me realise i need to talk about this with my GP! Thanks bro and i wish you all the very best for the future:))
❤ The whole interview❗️Jason thank you for sharing your story & providing tips & advice for those who may be affected by this disease. So many nuances. As a 7 year Stage IV TNBC survivor, experienced voices are super valuable. I’m one of the lucky ones. Had a friend go thru a similar experience with rectal cancer (early stage). We fought hard to find a doc who would do the sphincter sparing surgery, but after standard treatment (radiation & chemo) he was not deemed a candidate for treatment. He’s living a full life now with his “bag”…DJ’ing & 🎉. Jason your positive approach & attitude will make all the difference. God speed for continuous recovery & a healthy life moving forward. Hugs --K
Good luck bro 🙏
Prayers to you and your family.
I have to thank you for sharing this information and your symptoms and all the treatment s you went through. I'm praying for you to get where you can live well .
Thank-You for sharing your tough journey, I'm sure this will help others!💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing your story Jason, You will beat it I can feel it!!
You are such a nice person, ... prayers for you, and thank you🙏
I can’t relate to this , but I can relate to the fact that I left something untreated and I should have gotten looked at sooner. It’s not as severe and critical as your take, but a retinal tear was overseen by 3 optometrist until the last diabetic eye exam I went too, I just had scleral buckle surgery and cryopexy, to fix a retinal tear , breaks my heart how strong and how fragile the human can be , but in the end it’s all about YOU to take care of it. Never realized how little signs can be big things, thank you for the video and my dad also has been suffering from Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer and he had no resolution other than chemo , it’s in his bones and his liver .
Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. Only love and respect.
Your testimony is brilliant. I am so sorry for what you have been through but your story is the perfect example for how we need to advocate for ourselves. Wishing you continued health!
Just stumbled on this video randomly. Damn, you're a cool dude. The strength and clearheadedness is admirable. Also it's awesome we've got at least some working treatments for cancer now, even thought there's much progress to be made.
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you're doing better and healing.
St Peregrine we oray for all cancer sufferers, their healing, and peace to patients, and family that care for them in these battles.
Thanks for sharing your story. You have to advocate for yourself! 💯 Great PSA! Good luck to you!
Thanks for such a great video. I am pulling for you. Stay positive and determined and you will find that donor. God Bless you.
Thank you for sharing your story. I called and made an appointment, but unfortunately, i will have to wait until the end of May. Prayers for you and for me, too. When you think something is wrong, it can be overwhelming. Especially when you get the diagnosis.
You are one strong individual
God bless you….keep fighting, don’t give up!
such a real relatable story thank you so much for sharing~~❤
Thank you for the in depth stages of what you went through I wish you the best. My father in law had to have a section of his colon cut out and had the bag maybe later 50’s . About 1 year or so later after he healed up good he had it reversed and the bag removed. And lived a long time after that . I hope you do really good you are a strong man.
Good luck my brother … I am going to pray for you 💯 ❤️
I’m a breast cancer survivor, not CRC. For two decades now I’ve had sometimes a fair amount of blood in my stool. I get colonoscopies every six years, at MSKCC, where I was treated for my breast cancer. So far, no cancer, only internal hemorrhoids and a benign polyp occasionally. Thank you for your advice. And I wish you many, many years of life, until you’re very old. Btw, I LOVE cats and people who love cats! Great to glimpse your furbabies! 💙
Jason you are a legend man, your attitude and courage is simply inspiring, i just came across this video on KZhead and i was captivated! Im positive you will be completely healthy again with your attitude and determination. God bless you man, from Ireland ☘️
Really well explained
It’s difficult to hear how not every step was perfect or people did you right all the way, but you are here sharing courageously your story. I just went in for a CT scan and bloodwork at an ER Tuesday, seeing a GI Thursday. Nervous but knowledge is power. Wishing you continued life and strength man
What an incredible story. YOU MUST BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE!!! Lesson learned. Thanks for sharing Jason.
I hope this man carries on the fight, I wish him all the best, he is brave to say his story publicly. And of course, I think his cats are wonderful.
Good luck to you! You look like you are doing great. Thanks for sharing.
God bless you bro. Keep on pressing on. Your an inspiration
Your such a lovely man trying to help others and explain thank you for sharing … cancer is so crap ❤Claire uk I have cancer and my beautiful mum had bowel cancer it was too late for her it had spread 😢
Another safe and effective journey. Best of luck.
Good luck with everything. I wish I could do more. I’m praying for u to beat this.
You are a fantastic spokesperson! I enjoyed your very comprehensive talk. Gastrointestinal cancers are so hard to detect. My niece was treated for stomach cancer and she had a reaction like yours. They treat stomach cancer with many of the same drugs. I am so glad you are speaking out ! You are a very good patient advocate.
Thank you for your compelling story. You are a really smart and informed patient and I know that you will absolutely find the best treatments for your situation. Best of luck with any future surgeries and interventions. I’m sure they will be great successes!
I'll Pray for you Sir , God Bless You
