Colorectal cancer rising among young adults
Jose Santos has struggled with ulcerative colitis (UC) for 16 years starting when he was in college.
"It's no way to live," he said of the autoimmune disorder. "You go to the bathroom maybe 20-30 times a day if it gets really bad. There's lots of bleeding and fatigue and anemia."
Just over a year ago, Santos, who lives in Pleasant Prairie, ordered take-out food and ended up getting food poisoning and what he thought was a flare-up of his UC.
"That ended up taking me to the ER because I was throwing up and just really not feeling well," he said.
Because of his preexisting condition, his doctors did a colonoscopy as a precautionary measure.
