Today I’m covering the symptoms that I experienced leading up to my Colorectal Cancer diagnosis. I’ll share with you the timeline of when those symptoms popped up and what was tried to attempt to fix them.

If you’re experiencing any kind of changes in your body (and it doesn’t have to be potentially cancer-related) here is the list of important things to keep track of for talking with your doctor in order to help figure out what is going on:

1) when did the symptoms start
2) is there anything you do that makes it better or worse
3) what is the quality of the symptom or pain (such as is it dull or sharp pain, is there blood in the toilet or in your stool)
4) if there is pain, does it start in one place then radiate to another
5) how severe is the pain
6) how long the symptoms last

Here is the link to the site I mentioned in the video on the rise of Colorectal Cancer in young adults: https://www.cancer.org/latest-....news/study-finds-sha

What are the signs of colon cancer? While there are some symptoms that should prompt a swift visit to your doctor, the leading sign of colon cancer doesn’t exist. That’s because many times, you could have precancerous polyps or colorectal cancer and not have any symptoms at all.

The importance of screening tests for colorectal cancer is gaining traction, as the percentage of adults age 50 to 75 who were up to date with their screening tests increased by 1.4% from 2016 to 2018 to 68.8%. Screenings for colon and rectal cancer can catch the cancer before it begins and remove potentially troublesome polyps.

Colonoscopies are the gold standard of screening tests for colorectal cancer, and there are other at-home screening tests available. Talk to your doctor about which one is right for you. When colorectal cancer is found at an early stage, the five-year survival rate is about 90%.

Catching colon cancer early through screenings is critical because there often are no symptoms. Talk to you doctor about your family and medical history to see if it’s time to undergo a screening for colon cancer.

Alec Gunn is a healthy, health-conscious pastoral counselor with no history of cancer in his family. So when he felt the first stomach pains after lunch in 2019, he wasn’t thinking colon cancer. After a drive to the emergency room, a CT scan, and a colonoscopy, the cancer was confirmed. His family provider referred him to UVA. Along with colorectal surgeon Charles Friel, MD, Alec describes his physical and spiritual journey through treatment.

Transcript

Alec Gunn
I'm from Waynesboro, Virginia. That's where I was born and raised. My father was in the
military, in the army. So I followed in his footsteps and went to the army. I worked as Commandant of Cadets at Fishburne Military School for about six years. And during that time, that's when I felt a strong call into counseling and chaplaincy. That's where everything really begins.

Dr. Charles Friel
When I met Alec, Alec was just a regular, healthy-looking young man. And I think that's the scary part about colon cancer sometimes is that it can be growing inside of you and you're just not aware of what's happening.

Alec Gunn
After I ate lunch, I started feeling like a pain in my stomach. I drove myself to the emergency room.

Dr. Charles Friel
His doctor referred him for a colonoscopy, at which point he was found to have a colon mass in his descending colon. He then had a CT scan, which demonstrated a mass in his liver as well, which was therefore consistent with stage 4 colon cancer.

Alec Gunn
The news, my wife almost fainted. Luckily, I had a family provider, and she said, "These doctors at UVA are going to do a great job with you. This is where I want you to go." And so she squared that away. Dr. Friel and Dr. Zaydfudim, great guys, a blessing, a blessing to my family.

Dr. Charles Friel
We came up with a comprehensive plan that was unique for Alec's situation. And we were able to work with our community provider, and we were able to provide him with some chemotherapy in an environment that was more comfortable for him, right near his own home. Anybody who has colon cancer always runs the risk of having a recurrent disease. And unfortunately, that risk is a bit higher with people with stage 4 disease. Nevertheless, we frequently cure people, and our expectation is that Alec will be cured. I'm happy to report, he just had a CAT scan just last month, and that he's completely free of disease at this point.

Alec Gunn
I had to believe and I had to hope. Those were the things that got me through and have sustained me.
