3. I wonder if advancing age has anything to do with detecting all polyps? I am not

saying its the doctor's fault, I am just wondering what the error rate is for the senior age group as compare to younger age groups. The situation of Betty's husband is not a one-off occurrence. Less than five months after having had a clean colonoscopy my H was diagnosed with colon cancer, early stage. I thought it weird, but he liked to keep the digital pics of his colonoscopy exams and his last one does not evidence any polyps, yet within 5 months . . . .

Although I am clinically educated about all stages of colon cancer, my H's refusal to seek any treatment gave me a deeper insight into what happens at each stage more than any clinical studies. Some believe that if you let yourself die of cancer without treatment there is no pain, you just become more tired until one day you die. This is very wrong! As the cancer progresses, a person who has not received treatment suffers equally to those that have had treatment.

One should be proactive to cancer, not reactive. For what it's worth, to be proactive, I suggest you start taking CBD oil to help fight inflammation (cancer is the result of inflammation), and take enough CBD! I would also suggest taking a 1:1 tincture. This contains half THC and half CBD at bedtime. You will likely sleep through the THC effect taken at bedtime. It is the THC that kills cancer. You will need a medical card to get THC, but not CBD.
