i think i have colon cancer

Posted , 6 users are following.

About 6 weeks ago i started getting sore cramps in my upper abdo area. They were sharp painful and lasted a few secs. It happened on and off for about 2 weeks. I put it down to breastfeeding and my uterus shrinking. Then i realised it started to spread all around my whole tummy. I mentioned it to my husband and he thought nothing of it. Then i went for a number 2 and when i wiped there was blood. I thought nothing of it. The next day same thing but i stopped mid way looked into the toilet and there was blood in my poo. So i finished up and there was quite a bit on the tissue. I mentioned this again to my husband and he seemed a bit concerned. So the next day i lt happened again this time the blood pooled up on top of my poo. So i showed him and then he was really worried. His mother passed away from bowel cancer that was mistaken for ibs. After 2 years she was diagnosed with cancer and died 6 months later. My tummy is getting worse and my iron is down. I went to the dr to get stool and blood tests now im just waiting.

I have headaches and light headed last 2 days. My lower back and hips hurt alongside my lower tummy. I am constipated cant go with enema. And my bowel habits change from diarhea to constipation. Does it sound hopefless

for me? Do i have cancer?

    Hello K. Congrats on the new baby. And thanks for writing in. Do you mind sharing the results from your colonoscopy and other tests? We really care. I am having lots of the same symptoms but only a smear of blood so far. Hope we hear from you! Diane
