What Is The Prognosis For A Person With Colon Cancer?

I am being asked to edit my question I am looking for a Doctor at Cleveland Clinic in Weston Florida, I need a gastroenterologist , I did the colo guard test and it came back Positive. I had a colonoscopy 3 years ago and like 2 or 3 other times before it I have had plops removed many times before. My father and his two brothers (my uncles ) and my grandma all died because of colon cancer and the espohogeical cancer. I moved up here to Pembroke Pines after 30 years of the same doctors but I can t travel back to them it s to far. The two gastro doctors I had up here in Pembroke Pines were awful are awful and I won t be returning to them they are in the same practice and that stands to reason because they miss diagnosed twice. There s more to my story however I am 72 years young and since I was just diagnosed with colon cancer with the cologuard that I knew I had for 5 years already and they all three doctors I used told me I was fine even after my symptoms were awful including having black stool. I can not drive to Fort Lauderdale for my great doctors and I am stuck here in Pembroke Pines and I need help big time. I have Humana Gold now for years and They have been very good with me. In fact my primary wouldn t let me have the cologuard test for 3 years I had been complaining with terrible symptoms but he kept telling me I was fine and I don t have cancer so I don t need the test. OMG so I called Humana and they told me sure and told me to tell him they said to write that RX out and they also called him. Now I need to find a Gastroenterologist Now and forever up here as long as I am alive. I would like a Doctor who practices out of Cleveland Clinic because they have the best doctors I am told. I also have 1 other illness that are serious and 3 more that I need a smart doctor who is proud of his practice and cares about his patients. So please contact me at my email address YYYY@YYYY so that I can call to make an appointment and if you take my healthcare Humana Gold whom I am with for 15 or more years with no problems. I need to find a good doctor who will be my doctor for as long as I am alive. Like I said I also have other issues that needs a gastroenterologist expertise. I don t think this was exactly like a question as much as I need a doctor now because my test came back Positive for Cancer of the colon. So it s not really a question as much as it is a need to find a doctor up here in Pembroke Pines. Respectfully Michelle BE
