the fact the cop missed with every shot is it's own disappointment in policing

2024-02-20 14:18:35 +0000 UTCI was surprised he didn't list viral infections as a potential factor in the increase of colon cancers. I read many years ago (even before COVID) about the increasing link doctors find between viruses/infections and cancer (ex: hepatitis and liver cancer). We have been living through a very serious pandemic for years now, you could see how COVID affected the health of older people (in the case of my parents and grandparents, it ccentuated every conditions they had before). I know it's not very original, but I would really not be surprised if COVID had anything to do with this increase.

2024-02-20 13:55:09 +0000 UTCIt would seem pretty logical that the increase in very sedentary lifestyles is a major contributor to the rise in colon cancers among the young. Pretty much ALL of our free-time activities now involved sitting in front of some form of screen. On various levels, there's no way that can be good for a body, of any age.

2024-02-19 16:56:50 +0000 UTCIt could be just me, but I think that it would help to always hear the headline or a one sentence summary of the news when you are introducing it as a topic. The intro for most topics was like that and clear but one or two I did not know what exactly the latest development was that you were reacting to. Anyways, thank you for the work that you do!

2024-02-18 04:46:38 +0000 UTCI'm glad more people are talking about colon cancer in young people. Last year at 30 years old I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer that had metastasized to every lobe of my liver. I had stomach/gut issues ever since college when I would have been about 19 or 20 but just assumed it was related to a little too much to drink the night before or eating some junk food. I finally started to show additional symptoms in April. In favor of sharing accurate descriptions of my symptoms for anyone on the watch I'm going to be pretty candid here about what exactly the symptoms were... At first it was occasional diarrhea with some lower back and abdominal pains. The pains were achy rather than sharp types of pain. Eventually the pain in the back and abdominal areas got worse. Bad enough that I couldn't sit comfortably for more than 5 to 10 minutes and would have to lay down or walk around to relieve some of the pain. Then there was blood in my stool. I finally got into see the doctor who did a digital (finger) exam to look for any tearing or anything else obvious. He couldn't find anything but did refer me to get a colonoscopy finally. As it turns out, the symptoms we're got severe enough (more/just blood in stool and the pain wrapped around my entire lower back and guts without relief, except if I took probably too much Tylenol and laid in bed with pillows bracing my limbs in whatever comfortable position I could find.) And so a good friend basically forced me to go to the emergency room where they did a CT scan that found masses on my colon, several lymph nodes in my abdominal and lower back area, and literally all over my liver. My liver was basically Swiss cheese. We pretty much immediately started the chemo infusions and I've actually had a really good response so far which has absolutely extended my life. What is unfortunate is that because the cancer made it into every lobe of my liver, there's no resection that can be done to make my liver healthy again and in the US they don't do liver transplants for colon cancer patients. So unless there are some pretty amazing advancements in colon cancer treatment, my cancer will eventually be terminal. We just don't know when. I don't mean to leave an obnoxiously long comment, but if it's helpful information for anybody that can prevent the disease getting to the point mine got to, I'd write it anywhere.

2024-02-17 21:52:17 +0000 UTCYou said jokingly lots of gi docs listen to the pod. I'm not a doc but I'm an RN who has specialized in gi and liver transplant for 10yrs! So I count in that demo! Love the show and love when Dr. Hoda is on!

2024-02-17 15:08:04 +0000 UTCI agree with Katie that the increase in terrible health conditions happening younger is probably microplastics in freaking everything. Maybe we should work on that as a country...
