What is an evasive tumor of the colon?

I've never heard of an evasive tumour, but I wonder whether you mean invasive. If it's invasive then it invades, in other words settles itself in amongst the cells of the colon. If it wasn't invasive then it would simply lie alongside them and could be easily removed.

Why can't patients drink purple juices before a colonoscopy?

Red or purple juices should be avoided, since they can cause coloring of the colon that may be misinterpreted during the colonoscopy.

What happens when you do not treat colon cancer and now bleeding in under clothes.?

Colon cancer is a very serious disease, but if caught early it is usually cureable. Many people will put off seeing their doctor if they see blood in their stool because they are embarrassed (no one likes a poke in the behind), but all it takes at this point is a sample of the stool and if it comes back abnormal your doctor will do more testing. Colonoscopies sound terrible, but I've had one as has my husband and they put you out (ask them too) with Valium drip and it's over and done with before you know it and there is no pain afterward. DO NOT fool around with colon cancer. It is foolish to risk your life by being in denial. Everyone is fearful and everyone fears cancer no matter what the symptoms or where the symptoms are in the body, but worrying about it and simply ignoring it may lead to death or you may be wearing a bag on your hip and a tube in your abdomen in place of having regular bowel movements. Remember, there are those that love you a great deal and by ignoring this health issue you are selfish and self centered! Get to your doctor now!

If there is no blood or black in your stool why need a colonoscopy?

Polio is a viral infection that has various long lasting symptoms on it's victims. It's most notable and infamous symptom is the severe deformation of limbs that have been made flaccidly paralyzed by the virus.
