According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the United States. In Maryland alone, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths. If detected early, colorectal cancer can often be successfully treated or even prevented. (2)
In 2016, I was admitted and given an endoscopy and colonoscopy exam, where a large 3cm mass was found in my ascending colon.
The mass was biopsy, and ten days later, it returned dysplasia, positive for early-stage cancer. I later wrote to President Obama as he was leaving office early January 2017, “other than feeling extremely tired on occasions, I had no other symptoms, such as rectal bleeding, bloody stools, or anything.
I was scheduled Thursday, 12/22/2016, for Surgery for the removal of a cancerous polyp that was found in my large Intestine(Cecum).
What truly was amazing this discovery of Colon cancer came after my eye doctor detecting hemorrhagic bleeding in the retina and sent me to a retina specialist. It was immediately determined the severe retinal bleeding was related to some sort of systemic condition.

OBAMACARE WORKS
The retina Physician sent me for a blood test; my hemoglobin returned to 6.5 (a standard male is 15-16). I had severe anemia and was immediately sent to the ER for a blood transfusion ( it had dropped further to 5.8). The physicians determined I had some internal bleeding.

UNDER TREATING THE UNDER-SERVED
PREVENTATIVE CANCER SCREENINGS
(WHERE HAS BEEN TRUMP CARE???)
Mr. Obama, had it not been for the required cancer screenings under Obamacare with Medicare, I would have likely been happily sent home to my death.. Sir, further had it not been for Obamacare, I nor my wife could ever gotten health insurance because both of us have pre-existing conditions.

PREVENTATIVE CANCER SCREENINGS
(WHERE IS TRUMP CARE???)
Mr. Obama, had it not been for the required cancer screenings under Obamacare with Medicare, I would have likely been sent home. Sir, further had it not been for Obamacare, I nor my wife could ever get insurance because the both of us have pre-existing conditions.
My high blood pressure and diabetes eliminated me from all pre-Obamacare health insurance, and when my wife was disabled on her job (2008), we went without healthcare insurance for nearly 7 years until Obamacare was approved. We signed up together on the first day of eligibility for Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield. img_1074“RELEASE FROM CAPTIVITY DOING THE KAPPA WALK”
Before Obamacare, when we tried to get coverage BC/BS in Michigan and or Florida, they wanted $8000.00 per month and excluded any conditions related to pre-existing conditions. Another word NO CARE ((TRUMP CARE???).img_1075“PEE AT LAST PEE AT LAST GREAT GOD ALMIGHTY”,
Our situation is even more complicated because I own a small business in Florida and my wife live in Michigan, and because the Governor of Florida and the legislature are so resistant to healthcare, the programs here(Florida) are pitiful.
EVERY 5 YEARS, EVERY MAN AND WOMAN OVER 35 YEARS AGE HAS GOT TO GIVE UP THE BOOTY
African Americans have the highest mortality rate of any racial and ethnic group for all cancers combined and for most major cancers. Death rates for all major causes of death are higher for African Americans than for non-Hispanic whites, contributing in part to a lower life expectancy for both African American men and African American women.
- From 2012-2016, African American men were 1.2 times and 1.7 times, respectively, more likely to have new cases of colon and prostate cancer as compared to non-Hispanic white men. (5)
