Hi,

I'm just doing some personal research about colon cancer for my school assignment. You can remain anonymous if you wish. All I require is some answers to a few questions please.

1) Did you have any symptoms with the precancerous polyp or early stages of cancer? If so, what kinds of symptoms?

2) How long did it take for the colon polyp to grow into a cancer?

3) Approximately what was the time it took for the cancer to progress to each of the different stages (ie. stage 1, 2, 3 etc, if applicable). If you yourself or know of anyone else who has had an approximate 1.5 cm (or other size small tumor, please specify) to 10 cm tumor growth (or other size large tumor, please specify), how long did it take to progress from a small tumor to a large tumor?

I appreciate your reply.

Wishing you all the best for your health,
Sara
