ADENOCARCINOMA

That's the cancer my dad was diagnosed with this week. It's in his bowel. They don't think surgery is an option at this point. They do think it's been there a while, growing silently. If he had a colonscopy 10 years ago, they might have found polyps and could have removed them before they became cancerous. Anyone over 50 should get a colonscopy, whether they have any symptoms or not. It could make a world of difference.
