@michelle74 To help with my stress I started going to the gym. Which i have taken off from doing the last 2 months UGH.. I need to get dressed right now and go.
Now is the Livestrong program offered in Canada? They offer a lot things for people with or who have had cancer. Like 12 weeks free exercise course with special cancer trained exercise Trainers. That really helped me last year..

That really helped rebuild my confidence and lowered my stress.

Here is there website..

Now everything I have read typically cecum cancer, is normally found in people in their 70 and 80's .

I never been tested for allergies but my kids have. My youngest son had problems with constipation as a child. But I was bad when I was young raising kids. The only time I would see the Dr is when I was put on a gurney. I despise going to the dr with a deep and utter passion. So I never went for anything. Now I took my kids all the time to see Dr's.. LOL.. But I seldom went. My kids were always sick so taking care of them more than I could handle at time. Between allergies, learning disabilities, broken bones, lacerated livers and numerous wipe outs on their bikes. There was no time for me.
Plus I ran my own store front company and took care of my Mom and Grandma.. Well let's just say my Stress had stress and that stress had stress and that stress had stress.

I was told a huge contributing factor in both my cancers was the combination of stress and something in my environment. I do not have lynch syndrome either.

Even with my Mom dying at 59 from Endometriosis cancer and one my Grandfather's from bladder cancer and the other from liver cancer.
Cancer does run in my family. But not that they can find as genetic mutation.

I think you are just going to be fine and don't have to worry I am just over 3 yrs and feel great.. Now if I could just loose the 15 pounds I gained through all of this stressing , I will be back to my old self. 🙂
Keep in touch..
Jackie
