In this episode of The Real GI Doc Show, Dr. Gandolfo takes a moment to highlight an important guest appearance he made on The Positive Gene Podcast, hosted by cancer previvor and cancer prevention advocate Sara Kavanaugh, in honor of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. What is a "previvor" you may ask? A previvor is a survivor of a predisposition for cancer or another disease. In Sara's case that condition is Lynch Syndrome-the most common hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome. With colorectal cancer being the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, Dr. Gandolfo emphasizes the urgency of discussing this critical topic. During the episode, Dr. Gandolfo and Sara delve into various aspects of colorectal cancer, including: - The significance of understanding Lynch Syndrome, a genetic condition that increases the risk of several cancers, including colorectal cancer. - Preventative measures through diet and lifestyle that can help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. - The concerning rise of colon cancer diagnoses among younger individuals and what symptoms to watch for. - The importance of timely screening and colonoscopy, especially for those with risk factors, regardless of age. Listeners will gain valuable insights into colorectal cancer prevention, the role of genetics in cancer risk, and practical advice for discussing symptoms and screening with healthcare providers.

A Survivor's Call to Action: Understanding Colorectal CancerThe discussion centers on the critical importance of colorectal cancer awareness, particularly during the month dedicated to its recognition. I emphasize the significance of early detection, underscoring that the survival rate markedly improves when the disease is identified at its localized stage. With colorectal cancer being the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States, it is paramount for individuals to engage in regular screenings, which the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends starting at the age of 45. Moreover, I highlight the alarming increase in colorectal cancer incidence among adults under 50, which necessitates urgent attention and advocacy for improved healthcare access. The Colorectal Cancer Alliance plays a vital role in this endeavor, providing resources, education, and support to patients and their families while advocating for necessary policy changes.Takeaways: Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is crucial for educating the public about this disease. Early detection significantly enhances survival rates, particularly when cancer is diagnosed at a localized stage. Regular screenings for colorectal cancer should commence at age 45, or earlier for those at higher risk. The Colorectal Cancer Alliance provides vital resources and support for patients and their families. Awareness and education efforts are essential in combating the rising incidence of colorectal cancer among younger adults. Participating in events and sharing information can greatly contribute to colorectal cancer advocacy and research funding. Links referenced in this episode:ratethispodcast.com/resessions

Many resources show aluminum as the ten-year anniversary gift. Some say it's tin, but I'll go with aluminum. I recorded this episode on April 12, 2023, 10 years from the day of my final therapy treatment in my colon cancer journey. Some of you know my disdain for the term "chemotherapy." I chose therapy instead.Once you know which protocol your oncologist has determined is best for you (FOLFOX for me), the next logical step is to check out the calendar on your phone and determine the date of your final treatment.Setting goals and waypoints made sense to Cindy and I. 12 treatments break down into four quarters, three treatments each quarter. Getting to halftime made sense as a reasonable waypoint. Reaching the final quarter was a great feeling.But there is no more incredible feeling than wrapping up the final session. Knowing there would not be another 5-hour infusion appointment with multiple trips dragging the IV tree to the bathroom. Even though the staff at Ironwood Cancer Center was fantastic, knowing this would be the last time you saw them was important. They knew that as well.So, this will be the last episode of my journey. Thank you to all the folks that publicly and privately commented about how sharing my story has helped. I love hearing that. While I am always available to answer questions or chat with a newly diagnosed colorectal cancer patient, I'm done using this forum for that purpose. I will continue to post a March episode to remind everyone about getting screened. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, for gosh sake.See you next week with another episode, and thanks again.RATE & SUBSCRIBE At Ratethispodcast.com/REsessionsOn Apple PodcastsOn Google PodcastsOn Stitcher

As China's leader Xi Jinping remains close with Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's eyes seem to stay set on a potential 'reunification' with Taiwan, which would likely include an aggressive invasion of the country, many on Capitol Hill believe China's actions differ from their supposed desire to be a neutral leader on the world stage. Their involvement in America's cyberspace also refutes this assertion -- as the social media app TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has collected mass amounts of U.S. data that is believed to be shared with the Chinese Communist Party. On the Rundown, Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn explains how she believes the Biden Administration's "lack of responsiveness" to China's action has played a role in their increased aggression and what needs to happen to ensure China does not aim their hostility toward the U.S. or our allies. She also discusses her involvement in introducing the Kids Online Safety Act, legislation that could enhance U.S. data security and cyber protections.   March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, established to bring attention to the disease and encourage screenings and healthy lifestyle choices. Although cases of the disease have been on the overall decline over the last 30 years, diagnoses among younger patients are on the rise. Kacie Peters and her husband Erik Stanley, both under 50, were diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer within six months of each other. They join the Rundown to discuss their warning signs, their fight to beat the disease, and their mission to raise awareness.   Plus, commentary by FOX News contributor Deroy Murdock.
