Couple diagnosed with bowel cancer before and after
According to comprehensive domestic media reports, 73-year-old A Gui (all pseudonyms below) and 78-year-old A Lun, a couple from Hangzhou, sold fruits and vegetables in the wet market in their early years, but now they hand over the stall to their son. More than a year ago, Agui discovered that her hemorrhoids had worsened. Not only had her stool become thinner and there was blood in her stool, but her bowel movements were also very irregular and she would suffer from constipation from time to time.
At first, she thought this was the root cause of the disease caused by being a vegetable seller for a long time, so she didn’t take it to heart. However, her condition suddenly worsened in June 2022, and she continued to have abdominal distension and pain for several months. In the end, she could hardly pass stool. She went to the hospital for a colonoscopy, and the result was diagnosed with rectal cancer.
Agui then underwent surgery for rectal cancer, and the doctor also suggested that her husband, Allen, get a screening, but he didn’t care. In November 2023, Allen drank with old friends for several days in a row. As a result, he suffered stomach bleeding. He went to a nearby hospital for a gastrointestinal endoscopy. A tumor with a diameter of 3 cm was found 30 cm away from the anus. Finally, Colon cancer was diagnosed.
Fortunately, Allen was discharged safely after undergoing surgery. However, the couple suffered from cancer one after another, which made him wonder, “Can cancer also be contagious?” Liu Fanlong, deputy director of the colorectal surgery department who treated the couple, said that intestinal cancer is not contagious, mostly due to bad living habits. On the advice of experts, their son also had a colonoscopy. Fortunately, no abnormalities were found.
4 major dietary habits may lead to disease
After further investigation by the doctor, it was discovered that Agui and Alan were very frugal in their diet and had the following high-risk eating habits that pose a risk of cancer:
- Basically, I cook one meal a day, and I will cook more at noon, and reheat the rest at night;
- He is reluctant to throw away the unfinished vegetables, and sometimes cooks them with fresh vegetables;
- The two also like to eat bacon, sauce duck, braised duck, salted fish, etc. The vegetables that cannot be sold will be made into pickles and eaten with white porridge for breakfast;
- Allen basically drinks more than 1 pound of soju every night before going to bed
Dr. Liu Fanlong pointed out that the content of nitrite in pickles and overnight meals is relatively high. After excessive nitrite enters the human body, it will combine with amines, the decomposition products of proteins, in the mouth, stomach and intestines to form level 1 carcinogen nitrosamines. , which has a high risk of causing esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, intestinal cancer and other cancers.
He continued that rectal cancer is not only related to eating habits, but also to long-term irregular living, sedentary inactivity, obesity, long-term constipation or chronic diarrhea, a history of chronic enteritis and intestinal polyps, and greater mental stress. risks of.

Taiwan’s hepatobiliary and gastroenterologist Qian Zhenghong also pointed out that generally the early symptoms of colorectal cancer are not obvious, and most patients will have the following symptoms.
