@dr.yousufzafar: Rectal bleeding is an important sign of colon cancer. This new study shows that and people under 50, it’s even more important of a risk factor than family history of colon cancer. Don’t ignore this important symptom.#cancer #coloncancer #cancerawareness #cancertok #creatorsearchinsights

Unfortunately so many doctors gaslight young patients especially women and we stop going.

Had bleeding at 45. Didn't mess around. Colon cancer. Not even stage 1. No chemo. No radiation. Just a resection.

Thats not why young people aren’t going to the doctor. We’re poor, have no health insurance, and therefore most of the time cannot afford a standard colonoscopy let alone the procedure to remove pollops if they were found

38 had blood in my stools for over a year and progressively got worse. Went to doctor and was told I was too young for cancer and that it was hemorrhoids. Finally got a second opinion and had a colonoscopy and found out I have stage 3b colon cancer

Wow this hit hard 😢 I had a family member who brushed off symptoms like this thinking it was just diet issues. It’s so scary how subtle the signs can be. It made me pay attention to my own gut health—bloating, fatigue, irregularity. That’s when I found Eat Like a Woman Protocol written by Loren Green and finally started healing my system naturally. Awareness really saves lives.

I have noticed blood on the toilet paper intermittently for years. This past year, my chronic constipation flipped to chronic diarrhea, have lost weight unintentionally, getting a colonoscopy on the 30th after nearly 11 months of diarrhea

This is probably because the new generation is hyperfocusing on high protein diets ( especially animal protein ) and ignoring fibers from plant proteins ( legumes)

Why doesn’t the Gastroenterology Medical Society consider lowering the recommended age for colonoscopy screening from 45 to 30? Studies have already shown a significant rise in bowel cancer cases among young adults today. By lowering the age threshold, patients wouldn’t have to struggle to convince their doctors to perform a colonoscopy. Many late-stage cancer cases occur because symptoms were misdiagnosed or patients’ concerns were not taken seriously early on.

the question we should be asking is WHY are cancer diagnosis skyrocketing?

I’m 25 and was turned away from a doctor because I’m “too young” for it to be a concern and was told to come back in a few months if it got worse... I also have a family history

My cousin was 27 when she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. She told her doctor about her symptoms- and all he did was try to prescribe her birth control. TRUST YOUR GUT. She passed last year.

Had pain and lethargy for months, after being sent for IBS and other tests, a colonoscopy found stage 2 colorectal cancer right after I turned 40. After chemo, radiation, an LAR surgery, and now ileostomy reversal, I’m now cancer free and in monitoring. It was a rough road.
