Bowel cancer

💜 If ever there was a time to raise awareness of bowel/colon/rectal cancer it is now, in memory of the brave, strong and courageous Dame Deborah James 💜

🙏 If you have any of the signs or symptoms please contact your Gp 🙏

💞 This is a link to an article written by Dame Deborah not long after her initial diagnosis https://www.bowelcanceruk.org.uk/how-we-can-help/real-life-stories/younger-people-with-bowel-cancer/deborah-james,-35-from-london/ 💞

💜 Sending love to all those effected by this💜

Thank you for those who sent a “like” to this post. I would hope that we klysmos would be more conscious of our bowels than most. I, for one, always do my poop screen. I also think that a benefit of going regularly to a professional colon hydrotherapist is that she will notice if anything has changed. As Debgurl says “have fun, but play safe”. I want to be enjoying my enemas for many more decades!!

The good news is that the cancer rate (at least in the US) has been falling significantly over the past 20 years. This is not to minimize the very real pain that this causes, as I have watched several family members die from colon cancer, but it is still good news.

Thank you for the awareness post. As a MD, I try to get private PET scans when I can.
