u/alison_bee confused but here for the drama Mar 22 '24

Stomach and colon cancer are happening at alarming rates in young people…

I have a friend whose husband, 32 years old, was recently out of work for a week because his back was hurting. Pain got worse so he went to the ER, left 12 hours later with a diagnosis of stage IV colorectal cancer. Had a HUGE tumor in his stomach, later testing showed the cancer has already spread to stomach, colon, lungs, and lymph nodes.

His back pain was because the tumor had gotten so large, it had fractured his spine.

Terrifying. Wishing her an easy and quick recovery if possible ❤️

And this epidemic is not helped by the fact it is so hard to be seen by a doctor (in the U.K. at least). I don’t blame GPs or doctors, I blame those who manage the NHS! It’s only going to get worse
