Carmen Susman had no symptoms of stage 4 colorectal cancer. He represents a concerning trend: Younger people with advanced colorectal cancer.
“When I was diagnosed, I was feeling great. My wife and I, we were exercising together every day. I had all kinds of energy. I was happy. I felt fantastic,” Susman, a stay-at-home dad from Cleveland, tells TODAY.com. “Then you get this punch in the chest saying you have cancer. I’m like, ‘How can I have cancer if I feel this good?’”but couldn’t. He visited a urologist to understand what was happening, and that doctor thought he should undergo an ultrasound to look for kidney stones.
Susman’s cancer had metastasized to his liver. Still, he felt surprised that doctors considered it curable. He went through short term radiation, which was five days of back-to-back targeted treatment. Then he started chemotherapy.Two weeks into it, he began throwing up bile and he rushed to the emergency room. Susman had a blockage in his intestine that needed to be removed immediately.because I was just so backed up,” he says. “It delayed the chemo treatment; it delayed the surgery.
“It’s at least possible that those are the things driving this. We do see more men than women having colorectal cancer,” Dahut says. “Whether that’s again due to a poor diet or obesity and less exercise is at least a possibility.”Dr. David Liska, director of the Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer Center at Cleveland Clinic, agrees that the reasons for the increase are unclear.
“If the current pace continues, by 2030 the rate or colon cancer in young adults, meaning people under the age of 50, will have doubled, and for rectal cancer it will actually have quadrupled,” Liska says. “It’s probably an interplay of both environmental factors and some host related factors.”
