Should I See A Doctor?

Even though it may be nothing.

I had no symptoms of colon cancer. Don't even have any hemmoroids.

My stomach was upset, as it gets, when I eat foods I'm allergic to. So I went to a walk in clinic to see if there were any new allergy drugs. The Dr. suggested I could get a colonoscopy to rule out IBS, or Chron's disease. But not to worry, it wasn't like I had cancer or anything.

When I went for my colonoscopy, the Dr. tried to talk me out of it, saying it wasn't necessary. And, my insurance would not cover it. But, since I did the prep work, I went ahead.

Afterwards, I found out I had Stage IV colon cancer. Something that probably started when I was 16 years old.

So, I would suggest everyone get a colonoscopy. Just for a piece of mind. You'll probably get a clean bill of health. And, at least you'll know this isn't it. But you may find out you have Chron's or IBS. I was just hoping to ensure that my stomach was upset due to the allergies.

Good luck. If you have any questions about a colonoscopy, feel free to ask.

If you get one, I suggest drinking the stuff with a chaser. And get very soft toilet paper.

Good luck.
