Yes sure! I was having pains about 1/2 hour after I ate in late May. Seems I'd get bloated and feel the same feeling of having diarreah but it would never come. Only minimal blood when wiping. Thought I had an ulcer and some hemmoriods. Then it became frequent. I thought I had a food allergy. Went to the GP and they kind of blew it off. I was 48 with no history of cancer. It became so frequent that I demanded to see a GI. Being mid August everyone was on vacation. I had a colonoscopy scheduled and then the dreaded diagnosis. Never expected it. Dr could not get the scope though. This ordeal up to this point has been mental anguish. But knowing that the surgeon took it out, makes me sleep at night. Now is the pathology wait- it supposedly didn't spread according to the surgeon. But no one wants to tell me anything until it's on paper obviously. Personally I think I may have been lucky that it showed itself to me.
Being released today to go back home and micromanage my fam! I hope this helps...
