Increasing numbers of people are considered to be at risk of developing colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer develops over a period of several years. It is preventable, and treatable if caught in time, yet most people know little about it or are unwilling to have the tests required for a diagnosis. This concise book tells new patients everything they need to know about the disease and its diagnosis and treatment, including; Prevention techniques and warning signs; Screening tests, including virtual colonoscopy; Myths and misinformation; How to find and talk to a good doctor; The importance of a positive outlook; Finding support; Treatment options: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation; Self-help and alternative methods of healing; Learning to live with an ostomy; This book contains the latest information about virtual colonoscopy, a non-invasive test for colon cancer that is revolutionising diagnosis. Also included are the stories of 12 colorectal cancer survivors and a Q&A in which doctors respond to the most common questions of their patients.
