Breaking the Cycle: Uncovering the Roots of Heart Disease in Black Men and How to Stop it

Black American Heart Disease

The number one killer of Black American men in America is heart disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), heart disease is the leading cause of death for all racial and ethnic groups in the United States, and Black men have a 30% higher risk of dying from heart disease compared to white men.

To stop this trend, it is important for Black men to prioritize their heart health by making lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking. Additionally, regular check-ups and screenings with a healthcare provider can help identify and manage risk factors for heart disease.

Heart disease in Black communities can be traced back to the systemic racism and discrimination that has led to disparities in access to healthcare, education, and economic opportunities. These factors have contributed to higher rates of poverty, stress, and health conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, which increase the risk for heart disease. It's important to address these underlying issues in order to effectively combat heart disease in the Black community.

It is also important to acknowledge the role of genetics and family history in heart disease risk for Black men. Studies have shown that certain genetic variations are more common in Black populations and may increase the risk for heart disease. However, it is important to note that genetics alone do not account for the higher rates of heart disease in Black communities. Social determinants of health such as poverty, discrimination, and lack of access to healthcare all play a significant role in heart disease risk and outcomes.

Preventative measures such as regular screenings and check-ups are crucial for early detection and management of heart disease. However, it is also necessary to address the systemic issues that contribute to health disparities in Black communities. This includes increasing access to affordable healthcare, promoting health education and awareness, and addressing social determinants of health through policies and programs that address poverty, discrimination, and lack of economic opportunities. By addressing these underlying issues, we can work towards reducing the disparities in heart disease rates and outcomes among Black men.

Colon cancer surgery is a major operation that involves removing part or the entire colon, depending on the extent of the cancer. The surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia and can take several hours to complete. After the surgery, you may need to stay in the hospital for several days, and you may experience pain, discomfort, and fatigue during your recovery period.

Choosing a skilled colon cancer surgeon is critical to the success of your surgery and your overall health and well-being. When looking for a surgeon in Chandigarh, it's essential to consider their experience, expertise, and reputation. Dr. Rajeev Kapoor is one of the most experienced colon cancer surgeons in Chandigarh, with over 31 years of experience in surgical oncology. He has performed numerous complex surgeries for colon cancer and has a reputation for providing excellent care and achieving outstanding outcomes.

Scares, July+ 2022

I initially was going to write about each scare in detail, but I have been rather overwhelmed lately and do not want to feel like keep up with my blog is homework, which frankly, it kind of does right now. Homework I gave to myself! lol. Maybe one day I'll lay each one out in their own post, but for now, this is a condensed version.

The last couple of months have been difficult, to put it lightly. Starting with anaphylactic shock which was horrifying, then my sacrum pain increasing to the point where radiation was an absolutely necessary next step. There are lost of side effects connected to radiation but the standout one I learned about was the potential of going into menopause… at the age of 34… putting the nail in the coffin for child birth. I was gutted. Luckily after many fights with my insurance, I was approved for proton radiation which lowers those chances. But still, well, fuck you sacrum tumor.

Due to the pain, I had to go on a 24/7 opioid regiment that has introduced many unwanted side effects, the most awful being, often not feeling like myself. I had emergency scans, procedures and exams due to extreme bloating in my abdomen, an ultrasound for swelling in my foot and a blood transfusion because of low hemoglobin levels. Next I needed a pelvic scan and exam for the extreme nerve pain that has taken over my rectum and genitals, which could be referred pain from my sacrum tumor, or could be a whole new issue to add to the pile. I’ve needed to change and increase my meds 3 times to keep up with the relentless increasing pain, making my daily pill count to almost 40. All the while, my liver enzymes have been shooting up week after week, excluding me from chemo and resulting in the need for liver duct stents.

And after going through all of that, not having 1 full week of peace for months, now, when I look in the mirror and see yellow eyes staring back at me, and I see dark urine every time I pee, and it’s impossible not to go there, to not think, for maybe the first time since this all began, that I might not make it.

After my last appointment with my main oncologist, I came out of her office, sat down in the waiting room and leaned back against the wall. I started to tear up as I fidgeted on hemorrhoid pillow, which I literally cannot sit without anymore. My dad asked if I wanted to go lay down on the couch that was free and I said yes. I walked over to the couch, curled up in the fetal position, brought my arms up over my face and sobbed. Not 30 seconds later I felt him sit down next to me and he started rubbing my head. I sobbed and calmed down and sobbed and calmed down, over and over. When I finally brought my arms down and looked up, Dad and Kim's eyes looked like mine, tired and sad. So yeah, I think that's where we're all at right now.

I got some pretty incredible advice from my support group last night which was to stop and look around at everything I have. To see that I’m at one of the best hospitals in the world, my doctor is a fucking legend, I’m getting an amazing type of radiation that is very difficult to get approved and I’m already set up for the liver duct procedure. I’m as ready as anyone could be. They said I need to go on autopilot for a little while. It’s time to trust the doctors, trust the plan, take a deep breath, and let it all go. Autopilot here I come.

Long overdue update..

I know I haven’t really updated anything this time around.. it’s just too exhausting.. definitely different issues this time since I’m on 2 different chemo drugs and 1 of the same one from the first time.. lots of different side effects that are bad enough to need adjustment and breaks from chemo.  I will probably end up going into detail about all of it later..

However, the thing now is that my tumors are stable.  They didn’t grow but didn’t shrink and if it would shrink it would’ve by now with the amount of rounds I’ve had.. So to deal with the tumors.. option 1 (the one they want me to do) is to remove the tumors they have to remove the vaginal cuff tissue, remove the part of the ureter (the tube connecting my kidney to bladder) and then de attach then reattach my bladder higher up so they can reconnect the ureter, then remove some of the connecting part of my colon/small intestine and give me a ostomy bag for 2 months to let it heal then try to reconnect it bc its a better chance. But this requires doing the same surgery where they cut me completely down my entire abdomen from sternum to pubic bone and douse it with chemo AGAIN. I said I didnt want to fking do this surgery EVER again.  It was the worst pain ever and the recover was god awful. Mind you I also got neutropenic and septic last time.. and no it’s not JUST the initial recovery.. I’m still messed up from that surgery in many ways.. including abdominal separation that led to a hernia.

On top of that, they think l'm gonna always grow tumors now, and these interventions are to try to keep the remission time a little longer when they douse it with chemo. So for example if I didn't do it last time maybe it would've came back in 6 months vs 2 years (not certain obviously) but at this point its what can I do to keep them away longer but they dont expect me to be cancer free for the rest of my life.. that it will continue to come back and it’s just a matter of how much time we can put between them.. like WTF.

Option 2  is to just keep doing chemo to keep it the same size/stable…  but I am dead on chemo.. it’s fking awful and sucking the life out of me and will NOT continue this regimen for the rest of my life.  option 3 (which is what I asked about) is to do nothing and do hospice whenever the tumors get big enough to cause complete blockage/ bowel obstruction, then die (they say about 1-2years).

I am just fking done with all of this. My life is a nightmare that I’m never waking up from.  Also- please don’t tell me that obviously I need to do option 1 with no hesitation.. you aren’t the one doing it and have no idea how fking hard it was and still is. People think once I “recover” everything will be fine. What you don’t know is that the AFTER is what is worse.. except on top of this my life is just stuck on this endless loop of this nightmare.

Dietary Recommendations for an Ileostomy

During ileostomy surgery, the entire colon, rectum, and anus are removed or bypassed. An ileostomy is placed by the surgeon through an opening in the abdominal wall. The end portion of the ileum (part of your small intestine) is brought through the abdominal wall, forming what is called the stoma.

The stoma must be covered with a bag at all times to collect stool. An ileostomy may be temporary or permanent depending on the surgery. After surgery, your eating plan will begin with clear liquids. As you recover, you will start eating small amounts of solid foods that are low in fiber. Most people begin to eat more normally 6 weeks after surgery. 

General Food Recommendations

Foods to Include:

Low-Fiber Foods: Low-fiber foods are easier to digest. Although not the healthiest, white bread, white rice, and refined cereals are usually tolerated.  Instead, I would recommend rye bread, sourdough, rice, or almond flour crackers.

Lean Proteins: Choose lean protein sources such as skinless poultry, fish, eggs, and well-cooked, tender meats.

Non-Dairy Substitutes: This includes nut milks and creamers, vegan cheeses, and spreads.

Fruits and Vegetables: Peel and cook vegetables and fruit to make them easier to digest. Vegetables are best roasted, sauteed, grilled, or steamed.  Apples, pears, and peaches can be baked.  Pulp-free fruit juices are generally okay.  Tomato sauce and puree should also be okay.

Healthy Fats: Include sources of healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado and avocado oil, coconut oil, and nut butters.

Hydration: Stay well-hydrated by drinking at least 72 oz of water throughout the day.

Foods to Avoid:

High-Fiber Foods: Initially, avoid high-fiber foods like whole grains, nuts, seeds, and raw vegetables.

Gas-Producing Foods: Minimize intake of gas-producing foods like beans, cabbage, and carbonated beverages.

Spicy Foods: Limit or avoid spicy foods that may irritate the digestive system.

Certain Fruits and Vegetables: Limit or avoid high-fiber fruits and vegetables with skins or seeds.

Dairy: lactose can cause gas in the stoma and is generally not well tolerated.  It's best to avoid all dairy.

Beverages: Avoid caffeinated coffee and tea, hot chocolate, carbonated beverages, soda and sugary beverages.

Fiber

Dietary fiber is present in all plant food in the form of soluble and insoluble fibers. After having an ileostomy, you should avoid foods rich in insoluble fiber (bran-enriched breads and cereals, certain fruits and vegetables, legumes, and dried beans) and eat more foods rich in soluble fiber (oats, rye, barley, apples, bananas). These recommended diet changes can help reduce unpleasant symptoms of diarrhea, odor, and gas; help avoid blockage of your stoma; and help your body absorb nutrients from your food as you heal from surgery. 

Insolube Fiber (AVOID)

Whole Grains Whole Wheat Brown Rice Quinoa Couscous Bulgar Whole Wheat Products Bread, pasta, crackers Bran Products Bran muffins or cereal Vegetables Corn Broccoli Cauliflower Brussels Sprouts Cabbage Green Beans Celery Radishes Sweet Potatoes (can have but remove the skin before cooking) Carrots (can have but peel and cook) Fruits Raw cold fruit like apples and pears (with skin on) Berries Grapes Kiwi Legumes Lentils Chickpeas Kidney Beans Black Beans Split Peas Nuts and Seeds Avoid all nuts and seeds in their original form.  You may be able to tolerate a small amount of nut butters, nut milks, and nut creamers

Soluble Fiber (INCLUDE)

Grains Oats Rye Vegetables Most vegetables if peeled and cooked.  Salad - lettuce, remove the seeds in tomatoes and cucumbers Fruit Apples and pears with skin off and baked Applesauce Bananas Citrus fruits- orange and tangerine Mango Papaya

Recommendations

Try eating 4-5 smaller meals each day to ease digestion, prevent high ileostomy output, and enhance food absorption to meet your calorie, protein, and nutrient needs. Missing meals can increase gas and watery stools. Have your largest meal in the middle of the day and avoid eating large amounts in the evening. This can help decrease stool output at night. 

The ileostomy output can be watery or pasty, depending upon the foods you eat, the amount of fluid you drink, the medications you take, and other factors. Aim for at least 72 oz of water per day. Try waiting 30 minutes after meals or snacks before drinking to avoid flushing food through your system too quickly. 

When the ileostomy output is high, meaning you need to empty the ileostomy bag up to 5-8 times per day, you will need to pay attention to fluid intake and output. If you have high output from the ostomy, you will need to use an oral rehydration solution to replace the fluids you are losing. 

Sports drinks are often high in sugar, which can increase your stoma output. Here are two recipes to try for oral rehydration: 

1 packet of Emergen-C +2 cups water + 1⁄2 tsp salt 

1 cup natural apple juice + 3 cups water + 1⁄2 tsp salt 

Initially after surgery, your stool will be liquid and watery because of where the ileostomy is located in the intestine. The stool will gradually become thicker over the next few weeks (more like a consistency of pudding or oatmeal).

Add only 1 new food every few days. 

Start with small portions of foods you tolerated well before surgery. If you eat a food and do not tolerate it well, wait a few weeks and then try it again. 

Keep a log of foods you choose, and how you feel when eating them.

Helpful Tips

Include foods with salt. Sodium can help replace electrolytes that you've lost if you've had diarrhea or high ileostomy output. High sodium choices include Himalayan sea salt, pretzels, crackers, tuna, broths and soups, tomato and V8 juice, and soy sauce.

Chew all foods thoroughly and slowly. 

Consume liquids 30-60 minutes after meals to help with nutrient absorption. 

Eat at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals. 

Eat 4-5 smaller meals a day rather than 2-3 larger ones.

It’s been 10 years now since my surgery. So far so good! I think I was down to about 155 when they took the staples out. I can’t believe I thought the weight loss was from all the trips to the gym and healthy eating. Be sure to pay attention to your body and get checked out by a doctor when things feel off. Colon cancer is striking younger and younger. Early detection is key. I’m so thankful for the life I have now. I feel very lucky.
