Howard Keel died six weeks after being diagnosed with bowel cancer - symptoms to spot
In the 1950s, Howard Keel made a name for himself in Annie Get Your Gun (1950), Show Boat (1951), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), and Calamity Jane (1953). Dwindling from the limelight thereafter, Keel's popularity boomed once more when his career was resuscitated in 1981 by the decade-long TV series Dallas. Taking the role of Clayton Farlow, fellow co-star Larry Hagman told The Associated Press: "He had a difficult role to play...
"He was a fine actor and a great singer and just one of the nicest men I ever worked with...
"I'll miss him and will have a drink of apple cider in his memory."
Keel died six weeks after being diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2004.
The grandfather passed away on November 7, 2004, in Palm Desert, California, at the age of 85.
Older age is a risk factor for developing a cancerous bowel tumour, Cancer Research UK says.
More than 40 percent of cases in the UK, for example, are diagnosed in people aged 75 and older.
Bowel cancer has other non-modifiable risk factors, too, such as having a family history of the disease and having benign polyps in the bowel.
Modifiable risk factors, on the other hand, can include:
- Eating too much red and processed meat
- Eating too little fibre
- Obesity
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Smoking tobacco
- Alcohol consumption.
-
-
As with any type of tumour, the sooner cancer is diagnosed, treatment can begin to improve survival chances.
Possible symptoms of bowel cancer can include:
- Bleeding from the back passage (rectum) or blood in your poo
- A change in your normal bowel habit, such as looser poo, pooing more often or constipation
- A lump that your doctor can feel in your back passage or tummy (abdomen), more commonly on the right side
- A feeling of needing to strain in your back passage (as if you need to poo), even after opening your bowels
- Losing weight
- Pain in your abdomen or back passage
- Tiredness and breathlessness caused by a lower than normal level of red blood cells (anaemia).
Bowel cancer screening in the UK is currently available to registered GP patients who are between the ages of 60 to 74.
