The sudden death of actress Kirstie Alley is generating attention to colon cancer. The actress' family said she died after only recently being diagnosed.
The actress' family said she died after only recently being diagnosed."Either they had an acute condition that happened from their colon cancer like a perforation and got sick, or their condition is so advanced that at that point, it's not suitable for any type of intervention," said Dr. Afshar Payam a Gastroenterologist with Kaiser Permanente.
"Patients who have colon cancer generally do not have symptoms they have either rectal bleeding or iron deficiency and they are not aware of it," said Dr. Payam. Rosa Garrett is an avid runner with no family history of colon cancer. She completed the Boston Marathon in October of 2021."I had some abdominal pain, but I feel fine, so it was a shock it was a real shock," said the Alpine mother and grandmother.
"When I found out I had blood in my stool it was concerning, but I still didn’t think, I thought it was concerning, but I thought diverticulitis but I never imagined cancer," said Garrett.Garrett had half of her colon removed, her appendix, and some lymph nodes. One node came back positive resulting in the stage 3 diagnosis.She went through four rounds of grueling chemotherapy.She said she's starting to feel normal again, both physically and mentally.
