The procedure that is done before the surgery takes place is actually fairly simple. It is necessary for you to empty your colon in order for the procedure to take place. Your doctor will give you all the necessary instructions as well as any prescriptions that are needed to do this. It might be possible that you have to go on a liquid diet in order to totally empty the bowels. You should also make sure that you have everything in order as far as your insurance is concerned. Most people don't take enough time to make sure that there aren't any problems that come up at the last minute because of insurance. Whenever you show up at the hospital, you will go into a preoperative unit. All of your paperwork will be looked over and an anesthesiologist will begin to give you the necessary medicines to put you under for your surgery. Other than that, it is really just a matter of having the proper paperwork filled out and answering some simple questions. The anesthesiologist will have a small interview with you and ask you any questions pertaining to anything that may have been done medically to you in the past. Depending on the type of surgery that you have, he may give you a different type of medicine in order to keep you asleep while the surgery is performed. After your surgery is finished, you go into a recovery room where you will be monitored as you come out from underneath the anesthesiologist's medication. There will be some discomfort and perhaps even some pain at the site of the incision so you may be given medication to take care of that problem. It is possible that you will have to stay in the hospital for up to a week for this type of procedure. During that time, the hospital will monitor you for any infection as well as bleeding that may occur at the site of the incision. After your surgery is complete you will have to follow your doctor's instructions to make sure that your healing time is as short as possible. You will eventually be able to return to work but you should follow your doctor's timetable for this process. Although there will be some lifestyle changes that are necessary in order to be as healthy as possible, it is possible to recover from this type of surgery and lead a normal life. |

Use of Chemotherapy For Colon Cancer
By Kate Savage
Colon cancer is a form in which tissues of the colon are affected and most of these are adenocarcinomas - the common type of bowel tumors, found in inner lining of the intestine. As colon cancer is not a contagious disease, there is no possibility of having cancer from a cancer patient. Some factors like family history of colorectal cancer, high fat intake, presence of polyps in chronic and large intestine may lead to colon cancer. Colon cancer can be curable, if found in early stages.

Colorectal Cancer: Can Diet and Herbs Out-perform Chemotherapy?
By Chris Teo, Ph.D.
The perception I had was without chemotherapy, colorectal cancer patients would die -- if not all of them, at least a great majority of them. But research data does not support that perception. The difference of five-year survival between chemotherapy and no chemotherapy group is only 8% or 13.5 %. Can this slim margin not be achieved by some other non-invasive and non-toxic means?
