The incidence of colorectal cancers in younger people are on the rise according to several medical journals. That must be a good enough reason for GP’s to look very carefully when a young adult patient presents himself with complaints about blood loss during stool and weight loss.

I notice he did that with the surgeon on the 'NO SURGERY?' video. The surgeon was talking and Matt interrupted and talked over him asking something about chemo. It was in the small little portion she played of that meeting and put in the video.
look at you going all handmaids tale with her sisters womb
..that’s very big of you..
It does seem like a gastro disease. What's puzzling is why she insists on solely eating junk food if she has a disease like that (and now having colon cancer). That part of it kind of does point to her also having an eating disorder. I have a friend who has severe anxiety about eating healthy and is extremely picky, only eats her "comfort" foods. I believe there's a name for it.
Very true on the genetic factors. I actually had expected Tiffany's genetic testing to come back that she did carry a mutation, but glad for her family that she did not. Not sure how many of you caught the results of the genetic testing so it's worth mentioning. This is going back a month or two now.
Yes! I was a little perplexed by her reaction about the genetic testing because since it's not genetic that means it's environmental or "chance", yet she still ignores anyone's advice on eating healthy, seeking therapy, etc.
Hard to say what caused it really, I think she was just dealt a bad hand really, but no doubt her diet is absolutely abysmal.
Whatever her surgeon is doing with Tiffany it is the result of a consensus gathered at the MDT meeting which includes HER ONCOLOGIST.
not saying she can't or shouldn't talk with her oncologist separately.
Yeah, How can she think like that after one hour talking and explaining that there is cancer. Also she has another positive markers that give her poor prognosis.
I think for a long time she has some sort of body/eating disorder (dysmorphia or other). On one video in 2014 she is looking beautiful and on camera pinches her cheeks and says "I have fat cheeks"...it really made me wonder.
yea we all ate like tit in our teens and twenties. I wish I could forget all the junk food and energy drinks up late studying in college. I don't think she is any different in that way. However now she needs to relearn new habbits if this surgery can be done and is successful.
I don't think she has an eating disorder. She's thin, but not THAT thin, plus having cancer does cause people to lose weight. She eats a lot of takeaway and restaurant food and at home seems to have no trouble eating scrambled eggs, egg sandwiches, hash browns, croissants etc. Fattening stuff, in other words.
A journalist I really admired years ago was diagnosed with advanced cancer and died, leaving two young kids and her husband. In an essay she wrote during treatment she said she had eaten healthy and exercised and didn’t understand why she got cancer. The reply to her from an xray technician was “lady you got hit by lightning.”
People really do NOT want to accept how random cancer can be - they desperately want to believe that if they eat a certain diet, take certain supplements, do exercises they won’t get it. It’s denial, just a different kind of denial than Tiffany has.
he needs to watch his words around her as he said this is bad meaning the op..but then he said but it’s good that they can still do the op..Tiffany’s take home from that is that Matts not really happy with her needing the surgery..if it was a family member he’d be glad that they could be saved..but because of their relationship it’s different and massive to her how he deals with this..
Instead of hearing the surgeon telling her to gain some healthy weight before surgery, her brain tells her to “get fat”. her words. Sounds like more evidence of food issues or disorders. A healthy weight to her is being fat.
What are you referring to?
Women usually do that.
I don't understand why her eating habit such a big issue here. Her eating habit and appetite look completely normal. Every one has different taste, someone tries to eat healthy, someone eats everything. Someone eats a lot, someone eats much less than others. There are people who are vegans and vegetarians who got cancer. There are people who eat everything including junk food and they are healthy their whole life. Eating really doesn't matter much unless you have chronic conditions that cannot absorb nutrients from food, or diabetes, high cholesterol, some particular chronic conditions.
So true. Cancer is cruel and you never know who or when it might strike. One thing is for sure, no one is immune.
I should have added that healthy diet and exercise and wearing sunscreen will reduce the odds of getting some cancers, but a reduction in risk is just a reduction in risk.
Exactly, she eats everything which is normal. She is thin that at her age normal too. Yes, cancer cell need fuel to grow.
