I'm not saying you don't have physical ailments.

However, many of the symptoms you have described sound like severe anxiety.

Hey everyone, I know this board is colon related, but my topic is half relevant I guess! After losing my mum to bowel cancer, and my 32 yo brother having recovered from stage 3 colon cancer, we have been genetically tested and found I too have lynch syndrome. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy last w...

So, 2 years ago my 32 year old brother was diagnosed with stage 3-4 bowel cancer, and had his whole colon removed. He was very lucky in that it had not spread, only to one lymph node out of the 95 they removed. He had 6 months chemo with no side effects and has been well ever since! Today he is in c...

I am so sorry about your wife My mum's cancer was also very aggressive, 10 months from diagnosis to passing. It was like a whirlwind of hell. I hope you have love and support around you x

Thanks for that! I am of the belief that it is a gift to know. Many people don't get to know and it is too late for them. If I test positive I can be proactive about testing etc. I need to know if I have lynch so I know if my kids have it or not. I think it is important to know. I didn't even think ...

Ok so I am a long time lurker and haven't made many posts. About 12 years ago I lost my mum to colon cancer, she was 46. Then last year my 32 year old brother was diagnosed with stage 3/4 and has had his whole colon removed. He has since done 6 months of chemo and is doing well. We also have bowel c...

I really hope that he catches a break x

I'm so sorry you are going through this, but glad the treatment seems to be working! I have regular colonoscopies (family history - mum died of bowel cancer at age 46, brother had whole bowel removed because of cancer at age 32). The doctor that did my last one warned me that a colonoscopy is not 10...

My mum died of bowel cancer when she was 46. My brother, who is only 33, has just had his whole colon removed because of colon cancer. I am currently on the waiting list (Australia) to have genetic counselling. We have colon cancer on both sides, what are the chances of having Lynch Syndrome if both...

As awkward as it is I reckon id try to b honest with people. lets face it, everyone farts. if someone at work said to me that they are sorry but because of bowel surgery I frequently let them slip and have no control, I wouldnt bat an eyelid. We r all adults. If anyone had a problem with it it is th...

My brother has just had his colon and surrounding lymph nodes removed. They were in the process of being tested in pathology. A "friend" of his came and visited him in hospital and said "Yea, you if you have it in your lymph nodes you are stuffed. You will have a few months at best&qu...

My mum died 10 months after being diagnosed with colon cancer, she was only 46.

So I say 5 years is wonderful, definetely celebrate! xx

That is awesome, I am so happy for you! Gives the rest of us hope xxx Have a lovely Christmas

I will confess that I don't know much at all about the American health system, all we hear are occasional things about insurance and poor people not being able to afford care etc. I have lived in Australia most of my life, and my experience is this : If I or my children get sick, we go to a General ...

I really feel for those of you who live in America. I can't imagine having to live in fear and through insurance companies. I am in australia and we get a choice between private and public. Most go public, and we get all our hospital and medical for free. Sure it is inevitably covered by taxpayers, ...
