This varies dependent on the exact location. Your Dr is the best person to advise.

Well that's pretty serious, and your main goal is to survive the cancer. I'm pretty sure you will have a few scars - maybe you won't be a movie star but surgeons are very good these days.
4 :
I think that it's best for you to ask your doctor because there may be some medicines that is to strong for you.
5 :
mouth cancer is like the slower growing form of skin cancer. they will remove the affected area and see how deep the cancer has gotten... you have likely had this for a long time... anybody that chews needs to see a specialist just for a mouth check at least once per year... just like people who have a history of moles and skin cancer.

CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR.
2 :
probably the minimum expense would be $100,000. Figure all the testing costs a fortune, that is untold doctor's visits and various kinds of x-rays, scans, and biopsies. If you need any kind of chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation then add about $50,000 to each of those (minimum) Not to mention all the types of drugs that could be prescribed for the diagnosis. For example: Breast cancer cost us over $350,000 plus since the diagnosis (closer to $400,000). That is why we cannot allow cancer to bankrupt citizens of this country in fighting this terrible disease. Whatever kind of cancer you have, if caught early has a great survival rate. For instance breast cancer stage 1 has about a 95% or better rate of survival with proper treatment. Without insurance the survival rate drops to 52%. Why? Because the patients cannot afford either the treatments, medications, or follow up examinations necessary to fight the disease.
3 :
You can easily check your minimal health care rates in internet, for example here - health-quotes.isgreat.org
4 :
I racked up over $120,000 in bills in 4 months. I had multiple ultrasounds, an ultrasound guided Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy, those cost close to $3,000. My surgery was more extensive than first planned, so it ended up costing more than $75,000. I had radioactive iodine (I-131) for my follow up treatment, two sets of scans, multiple ultrasounds, CT scans, countless blood tests/ tumor markers...the list goes on! It's been 20 months since my first diagnosis, and I think my current tab is $150,000 and counting.

Why do people freak when I say if I get colon cancer im most likely going to refuse treatment

Why do people freak when I say if I get colon cancer im most likely going to refuse treatment?
I have UC and a history of colon cancer in my family. After seeing what they went through I don't feel its worth spending my life savings just to go through that mess. My family says they understand my wishes. Is there anyway I can make sure nobody forces me to get treatment?

As long as you are of sound mind. No one can force treatment on you. Just to make sure you could write it out and have it notarized and filed with your attorney like right now. So they could not say the mental anguish of the cancer is clouding his judgment. I am with you though. If I have like a 10% of living. Why put my self and family through it. But when the time comes, the will to live is pretty strong.
2 :
As long as your are classed as mentally stable then no one can force treat you, if you are classed as mentally unstable and someone tells hospitals and doctors they can treat you. best thing to do is make it clear from the start, or even write a note or letter and put it somewhere safe with all the information on it. that may help.
3 :
you write up a living will you tell your doctor and let them tell you what to do
4 :
we don't know what we are going to dai from. so don't be negative don't give up from the start. even saying it is said to have an influence. If you are living a healthy life now, as you should, the quality of your life, which you will live anyway, will be better and then you may live a long life and have all the fun you wanted to have, and then you may also dai cuz of another illness, who knows?? talking about this issue doesn't help. so chose between happy life and a miserable one, after all you are free and no body can force you.

If you are a competent adult, they cannot do it. Even if you are not an adult, you can of course refuse to go to the doctor. I suffered from UC for a number of years. I had my colon removed because I was not responding to medication, and was on a downward spiral. Even though I had my colon removed, there is about 1" left that connects the small intestine to my anus (I do not have an ostomy-the doctor did what is called a j pouch). I still get that regularly checked, because I know I am at a higher risk for colon cancer than others. It's worth it as 'preventive maintenance.' You should have regular colonoscopies, and because of your disease and family history, you should get them much more frequently than others. You should be going to a gastroenterologist, and that doctor should be a member of the CCFA-if not, find another. Focus on early detection, and you have a LOT more options. Good luck.
6 :
I’m not sure why you think anyone could force you into treatment, but I also do not understand why you would rather wait for the tumor to perforate the colon and die of septic shock. That would be a long and painful death, not the way I want to go.
