Re: Can someone explain tumors for me?

That is what I was thinking... interesting. I saw another user had a noticable mass, whichI thought was strange that is all and it got me wondering whether this could be one of many or whether they were just 'lucky' enough to have it so close to the anus that they saw/felt it... I guess a little bit...

Re: Can someone explain tumors for me?

Here is the reason I ask... i was reading up online and I heard some people say that they had a tumor literally a couple inches in past the exit to their rectum (I read a post by a member here too) and I thought well surely that would mean that their tumor is very small. However I read that some peo...

Can someone explain tumors for me?

Hi guys,

I hear alot of people on here say 'my tumor' and so on, which would suggest just one. However I thought with cancer tumors spread and you had multiple tumors quite quickly?

Sorry for the vague question

Re: Please help - Scared 22 year old :(

Quick question, my doctors appointment got cancelled tomorrow until Thursday... bugger. Out of interest as my results came back 'normal - no action', in relation to colon / rectal cancers how far would that go to suggest that a patient is cancer-less if their only symptoms are rectal bleeding and ti...

Re: Please help - Scared 22 year old :(

Had my blood tests today... Really scared about the results... All that seems to be swimming in my mind is that my symptoms match Cancer etc, but I guess I can't do anything about it either way for now. They took my blood and told me to come back in a week but that if any problems they will call me....

Re: Please help - Scared 22 year old :(

Hey guys, quick update for you: I decided that all the worrying was probably making things worse than they really were so decided to follow a friends advice and stop researching on the Internet and just try to do my normal think (exercise, kickbox, read,etc). Dizziness and Tiredness seems to have di...

Re: Please help - Scared 22 year old :(

Hey Terry, I am in the UK so it is actually 'National Health Insurance', it sounds good, however the problem is that because so many people go to the doctors with colds and bruised knees, etc it slows the whole thing down and the doctors always take symptoms with a pinch of salt because they know a ...

Re: Please help - Scared 22 year old :(

Is this your primary care doctor/s? Perhaps ask them to give you a referral to a GI doctor (if they haven't already) and then speak to them about this. If it was your primary they may be willing to let you at least meet with a GI doc. I will try, when I asked if there was another opinion I could ha...

Re: Please help - Scared 22 year old :(

At 22 years old I only wish I had the energy of back then! Tiredness is not normal, unless your working 60 hours a week. Yes, it very well could be hemorroids but you never know. Tell them you want a colonoscopy. YOu'll know for sure then. You probably already gave your familial history but you cou...

Re: Please help - Scared 22 year old :(

Try to see a colon specialist. My daughter (age 17) has had blood in her stool for about 2 months along with increased need to go to the bathroom. Because of my colon cancer, the Dr. scheduled her for a colonoscopy in 2 weeks. He said it could be IBS, Crohns, ulcerative colitis, etc., but said the ...

Re: Please help - Scared 22 year old :(

Hey there, Just sent them an email, thanks for the link, I'll see what they advise... I have been drinking more water and I do feel a lot better mentally, I think I am a little less worried because I realise it could be a number of things rather than 'guarenteed cancer', which is what I was scared o...
