My mother does not like to go to the doctor. She hadn’t been feeling well for quite some time, but she waited to go to the doctor for quite some time as well. By the time she saw her family doctor and was diagnosed with colon cancer, it was already in the second stage of the disease. My mom underwent surgery and chemotherapy for her stage 2 colon cancer. She had to have a colostomy, which she may not have had to have, if she had been diagnosed during the first stage of the disease. She keeps saying that she should have gone to the doctor sooner. I know she is having a hard time with acceptance of the disease, and knowing that it could have been diagnosed sooner just makes things worse.
