article: Before deciding on any course of treatment, the first step is to confirm your diagnosis of colon cancer and to have the cancer, if it is indeed present, staged. Staging is done using additional scanning of the body with CT or PET scanning and a biopsy of the primary cancer lesion that was found. This is important for developing an individualized treatment plan. There are 4 stages of colon cancer: Stage I is limited to the bowel while stage IV has metastasized throughout the body, with stages II and III representing intermediate levels of severity without body-wide metastases. Stages I, II, and III are generally treated with surgery as the first-line option. Stages II and III may require "adjuvant" chemotherapy (chemotherapy to supplement the treatment following surgical excision of the cancer). Stage IV is treated predominantly with chemotherapy, and occasional surgery is used as an adjunct (as an addition) to remove masses causing pain, obstruction (blockage of the bowel), or that are otherwise problematical. Assuming that you fall into stages I, II, or III, you will be booked for a surgery to remove your cancer as soon as possible. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and normally takes a few hours to complete. The affected section of your bowel (where the cancer is present) will be removed, and the lymph nodes in the surrounding areas will be examined by your surgeon to see if the cancer has spread to them. If the cancer has not spread to the lymph nodes, this is a very good sign. It indicates that your cancer was most likely fully cured by surgery alone. If the cancer has spread to your lymph nodes, however, there is the possibility of "micrometastases" - meaning small cancerous cells that have "escaped" into your bloodstream and pose a heightened risk for recurrence of your cancer down the road. Your surgeon will inform you following the procedure whether or not your lymph nodes contained any traces of cancer. The excised (removed) portion of your bowel will also be examined under a microscope following surgery, by a medical specialist called a pathologist. The pathologist is able to provide additional diagnostic information about the type of cancer you had based on the appearance of the cancerous cells under the microscope. After surgery, the most common procedure to attach the loose end on the proximal (upper) end of your colon to your abdominal wall, so that the opening of your bowel pokes through your skin. This is called a "stoma," and it functions by attaching an "ostomy bag" to the outside of it to collect stool while the rest of your colon heals. Using a colostomy bag (or "ostomy bag") can be a challenge both functionally and socially. For more information on how to use and change a colostomy bag, click here. After your colon has healed, your surgeon may perform another procedure to re-attach the two ends of your colon and to get rid of the stoma. This is the preferable outcome as people can return to a normal life, passing stool through their rectum and anus as opposed to having to continue using a colostomy bag. Some cases of colon cancer are more severe, however, and will require the use of a colostomy bag indefinitely. This happens when the section of diseased colon is larger, thus preventing the reconstruction of a functional bowel.

article: Vitamin D is often deficient in people with sleep apnea. However, be aware that vitamin D in high doses can be toxic, so talk to your physician about how much you should take. Vitamin D taken as 2-5000 IU each day is generally considered safe. You can also get your daily dose of vitamin D by sitting outside in the sun for 10-15 minutes each day. Magnesium may also be helpful for sleep apnea. Magnesium is necessary for muscle contraction and is believed to help the muscles of the respiratory tract respond to brain signals. Taking 100-200mg of Magnesium before going to sleep is considered safe. Higher doses may lead to diarrhea. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. It has been found to be beneficial in reducing the cell damage associated with sleep apnea. Try taking 500 mg of Vitamin C daily. 5HTP may also be helpful for sleep apnea. 5HTP is decreased in people with sleep apnea and it is a precursor for serotonin, a hormone that is involved with sleep and mood. Try taking 50 mg of 5HTP along with magnesium.
