Two people came to mind when I am writing this article on colorectal cancer. Let me relate their stories.

Story 1:

Mat (not real name) is a 45-year old professional who was diagnosed with Duke’s C rectum cancer. Eight of 16 lymph nodes were involved. He had an operation and subsequently underwent chemotherapy with 5-FU + leucovorin. The first chemo-treatment made his life miserable due to severe side effects. He decided to opt out of chemotherapy and came to us for help. He was started on herbs and felt real good after that.

The 12 feet human large intestine is divisible into two parts. Its first half constitutes the colon popularly referred to as the bowel. The second half constitutes the rectum and the following anal canal. The latter terminates into the anal opening which helps oust the excreta from the large intestine to outside the body. The primary function of rectum is to prepare the undigested food to be expelled out of the body. Persons having the genetic and medical history of cancer of the gastrointestinal tract or of the breast and ovary cancer have greater possibility to the risk for the same.
