Early detection means early-stage cancer, which responds better to treatment and higher five-year survival rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular colorectal screening does more than help you detect early colorectal cancer. It has been helping doctors <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/348\/bmj.g2226.full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lower colon cancer rates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> significantly over the years. It may have contributed to a 30 percent drop in colorectal cancer cases in people over 50.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advantage of regular colorectal cancer testing is that it can detect polyps in the colon that haven\u2019t yet turned cancerous. By removing these polyps, doctors can prevent the disease altogether.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you develop colorectal cancer, early treatment increases your survival odds and your post-recovery quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Post-Colon Cancer Quality of Life<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your overall health dictates your quality of life. If you\u2019re in constant pain, you can\u2019t enjoy your daily activities. If you feel well, on the other hand, you can work out, be active, and enjoy life in general.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we age, our overall health begins to decline. We are also more likely to develop colon cancer past 50. Unfortunately, recent trends show colon cancer rates going up in those younger than 50.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Younger people, including colon cancer sufferers, tend to be in better physical shape. Therefore, we should look at their post-recovery quality of life separately from those over 50.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-Colorectal Cancer Quality of Life Over 50<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those over 50, the factors impacting the quality of life of colorectal cancer survivors often include more complex physical and mental health factors than for younger men.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical Well-being<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4890809\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has found that the physical quality of life of colon cancer survivors over 50 is slightly lower than that of the general population. Doctors have noted that the difference is not significant, however. On average, survivors function as well as those who never dealt with colon cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those reporting lower physical quality of life are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Older<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The older you are, the less likely you are to feel physically well as a colon cancer survivor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Overweight<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Carrying too much weight is generally unhealthy and makes life less enjoyable as a colorectal cancer survivor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Less educated<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Better education equals more opportunities and fewer financial worries. People with less education struggle more in general.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Smokers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Smoking negatively affects your physical well-being in many ways. It is hardly surprising that it worsens the quality of your post-colon cancer life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Living with chronic conditions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Diabetes sufferers, for example, have digestive and other problems that interfere with their physical well-being.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32411\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32411\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2.jpeg-6_11zon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32411\" title=\"Man sitting with his eyes closed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2.jpeg-6_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"Man sitting with his eyes closed\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2.jpeg-6_11zon.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2.jpeg-6_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32411\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Physical well-being is a significant component of your overall quality of life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental Well-being<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to physical well-being, mental health has a significant impact on overall quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surprisingly, colorectal cancer survivors over 50 have reported slightly better emotional well-being than the general population.

They are also more likely to die sooner than those who are emotionally fulfilled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychological counseling can help younger colorectal cancer survivors overcome these emotional and social challenges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>General Factors Impacting Post-Recovery Quality of Life<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorectal cancer survival is a physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing feat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people recover from the disease and become cancer-free. Those who recover tend to worry about their cancer recurring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some don\u2019t recover completely. Being on chemo or radiation therapy to control the disease is a stressful ordeal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a colorectal cancer survivor, talk to your doctor about a survivorship care plan. Survivorship care plans can give your follow-up care structure and direction. They can help you manage the short- and long-term side effects of your treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorectal Cancer Treatment Side Effects<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the side effects of colorectal cancer treatments are physically and mentally draining.
