Just cause I dont know. What kind of pain does one typically go through while having stage 3 colon cancer?
It is but MLB just was honoring him today though.Isn't that April 15th?
Yeah, I'm also the type of person who's private and would rather keep my ailments to myself. He didn't seem particularly extroverted, so I'm sure he was naturally reserved so he didn't want the spotlight on his battle with cancer either.Whether he shared his battle and diagnosis is unknown to me. It’s a very personal thing and if treatment has no impact on treatment, I understand not sharing it with anybody other than family.
Yeah..Isn't that April 15th?
Generally speaking, Stage 3 is a weakened but alert state. At this point, they feel the pain of the tumors, and undergoing chemo sessions make them very tired and exhausted. Bones become weakened. There maybe bowel obstruction, its difficult to use the bathroom, a device maybe needed to pee. They may need more surgery to remove part of their colon or intestine, and they would have a bag permanently attached to them. Also, ascites starts to trap the lungs and the abdomen swells. Fluids start to build up making it tough to breathe. Sometimes they go to hospitals as much as they need to remove that liquid.Just cause I dont know.

Very, very sorry for your loss man. Reading this made me tear up. Before reading this, I thought chemo was the main cause for pain and discomfort.Generally speaking, Stage 3 is a weakened but alert state.

Stage 4, at that point, you can tell its death, the cancer really has spread almost all over, colon, appendix, heart. Lymph nodes are very swollen. Patients lose the ability to talk, their eyes enlarge and close as they feel the pain. Oxycodone and morphine basically have no effect. They can barely move. You're basically trying to carry a almost lifeless person. They are quite skinny like a skeleton. Think Steve Jobs in 2010 or 2011 when he looked so skinny and unhealthy.
At that point they probably think or say death is better than to suffer through that. When they reach a point where they are confused about time and place, they talk to themselves, or things we don't see, that's them getting ready to die.
My sister was 36, diagnosed at 32 with advanced stage 3 ovarian. It progressed to 4. She died last year.

Thank you my brothers, but I'm ready to be there. I said in her eulogy, the good die young, its true, right. But God's plan is what it is. Rich or poor, young or old, life is life, death is death. Our time is short.Very, very sorry for your loss man. Reading this made me tear up. Before reading this, I thought chemo was the main cause for pain and discomfort.
