Colon Doctor

Yes, it sounds funny, like there's a huge fart waiting to surface, but I don't like when 5 minutes after I've left the doctors office they call and say to come back that evening for more tests. Could air in your colon be indicative of colon cancer? I haven't found any answers online. Thanks for your expertise.

I have never heard of air in a colon and I also searched fo rit and found nothing as well, sorry, but I do not know what it could be.

www.coloncleansingprograms.com --Watch as a woman goes through her first colon cleanse at a clinic. For more information about colon cleansing ...

Two months after a colectomy,my mom recently had a brain scan which showed 2 nodules in the left parietal lobe.The doctors have ruled out TB and toxoplasmosis.Her doctor says that colon cancer can not spread to her brain without affecting the liver.Is that True?

First of all, good luck to you and your mother in what must be a very difficult time. Your mothers' doctor was correct. The way cancer spreads is that cancerous cells break off from the main tumor and spread via the bloodstream. The entirety of your blood volume is filtered through your liver before returning to the rest of the body; therefore, it is virtually impossible for foreign matter such as cancerous cells to pass through the liver without being trapped. I hope this clarifies things for you.

To Denisedd: To be sure, where serious health conditions such as this are involved a second opinion is always a good idea, and you make a good point that cancer certainly is an unpredictable disease. In trying to simplify things for the poster, I evidently left out too much information. GENERALLY SPEAKING you are correct... cancer does not ALWAYS met. to the liver. Things such as type of cancer, blood flow/routes to the involved region, co morbidity, and other factors come into play which can cause other organs to be involved while leaving the liver relatively intact.... but the doctor said "affect the liver", not "met. to the liver" it is perfectly reasonable to expect some affect on the liver, even if it does not actually become cancerous.... if half the circulation through the liver is cut off by sloughed off cells, that would certainly be enough to "affect" the liver, don't you think? ...although I suppose a better choice of words would have been "it is highly unlikely that colon cancer would..." as opposed to "colon cancer can not..." At any rate, the doctor has access to her chart and the weeks, months, or year's worth of information contained therein... and all we have to go on is a single paragraph. It's actually a bit presumptuous for us to say one way or another whether he's right or wrong.

I'm 19 (but I'll be 20 this February) and I want to ask my doctor for a colon cleanse. I'm afraid that she will just give me an automatic "No." because she might think I'm too young to get one, but I think I could really benefit from one right now. I am female, and I'm 5 feet and I weigh 178 pounds.

You just need to ask your doctor about getting one and she will either say yes or give you a referral to someone who will be able to do it (because she may not perform this in her office) You are old enough to get one also some Spa's actually offer this to.. You can search on the internet for your location and see what you find =)
