On a normal basis, I don't usually get too freaked out too fast. But lately, for about a week and a half, I have had constant diarhea, gas, and even throwing up. It could be the flu, but it's still getting me a little worked up. I had stage one colon cancer six years with really no problems besides a normal amount of IBS (which for me, a week and a half isn't normal). I have two more years till my scheduled colonoscopy, but I do have a cat scan to kind of "close the book" on the whole cancer thing/ seeing the oncologist. Can anyone tell me what a cat scan does? I mean, I know what it does, but what can it see in relation to your colon? Apparently, when I was diagnosed, it wasn't done each year, but I guess it is now. If there is something abnormal, can it be seen real well? I just don't even want to freak and think it's cancer again (which in my heart...I don't really think it is), but as we all know, that fear doesn't really completely go away. Any words of the calming sense would be greatly appreciated!!!!
