Hi im james. I had colon cancer 10 yrs br4 i would do anything about it cause i did not want a bag on me. Worst mistake could have made. I was loosing so much blood and food was going straight through me was weigh less than 100 lbs my red blood cell count went so low i couldnt stay awake and would sleep 18 hrs a day. My dad came by and took me to hospital. With in one yr with no insurance or anything had all my intestines taking out. Im 48 yr old did heating ac refrigeration work over 30 yrs all i know how to do.after all the testing and taking blood mris and all other test ever 2 days all over la. They told me would be a 6 hr surgery. Would only have bag on me a few months. Was over 12 hrs long. Didnt wake up tell day later. Said i would be walking in two days. Was 2 wks. Was in hospital almost 2 month and left with stitches and staples in my rear.felt like barb wire. Needless to say im stuck with for life.
