A girlfriend of one of my best friends told us she have Colon cancer .?

and that each year she goes in and have a piece of the colon removed, she is not on any medication only a diet. She was suppose to have the surgery within Dec of 08 but said that things are fine and she is going to skip this year and just treat it with a diet.

My questions is this can this be true?
Answers:     She's a fraud, and not a very good one. For one thing, if everything be as she said [and its not], she'd be dead by now. Colon cancer can be very aggressive, surgery would hold been done all at once, and she would be on chemo or something. Tell her to stop lying in proclaim to get attention. People WITH cancer see no humor in dying.
What you are describing is not middle-of-the-road treatment for cancer patients. Normally if there is surgery there is also follow up with chemo and depending on how aggressive the cancer is she may hold had a colon resection (colon tissue removed) or a colostomy done which can be either temporary or lasting, again depending on how much colon is involved. No cancer I know is "cured" with just diet. Either your facts are not right or she did not tell you everything. Good luck.
This is not true.
say there's a 99.9% chance she's a liar seeking attention.

1.) Cancer of any charitable, colon or not, is never "just treated with a diet." Unless, of course, the lenient wants to die.

She's either a liar, or there's that 0.1% chance that she is trying to do this new-age hippy article, and will be dead before the end of the year.
I believe cancer is simply contained by the genetic blueprint. Lots of folks preach things like eat a diet high within fiber and you won't get colon cancer. I think that is rubbish. My oncologist (I hold breast cancer) says nobody knows why we get cancer. She say take vitamins if you want, but you should be getting what you need from food and if you aren't eating properly, the vitamins aren't going to do you any polite, anyway. It sounds as though your friend is having "biopsies" done - that's what the little pieces of colon removal are. She may have suspicious polyps and stuff that they remove during a colonoscopy. And if they think she is at such glorious risk, she shouldn't skip the procedures. I never miss a mammogram.
Unlikely. It amazes me that there are these virtual cancer dingbats. Ignore her.
Colin cancer is greatly agressive if untreated.
sometimes some bowel is removed to rid it of cancer. Then the patient has a colostomy bag.

here is still cancer present, it will move throughout the rest of the body. Lymph nodes, lungs, liver. once the cancer has metasticised (moved away from the bowel), life expectancy is 1-2 years.
Tell her to stop playing games. Source(s): husband died from colorectal cancer
where do any kind of cancer come from if you hold a excellent diet
