Her Dr, has order the needed test. Childofgod Mon, 10 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT I would be concerned if it was me. These signs are indicative of a tumor in the colon or rectum. Let us know what the tests say. Oncrx Mon, 17 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT Thanks for the kind words and I will let you know how things come out. There was nothing remarkable found from her blood test. Greg Childofgod Mon, 17 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT Definitely be concerned!. I had the same symptoms and my Kaiser HMO primary care physician kept insisting that I had hemorhoids, not to be concerned. A year and a half later, feeling fatigued, I "pushed" for a colonoscopy and the same diagnosis was hemorhoids. Following that, a year and a half later (now a total of 3 years went by) I was feeling fatigued, I then insisted on a biopsy... diagnosis rectal adenocarcinoma, CANCER. Had surgery, wear an ostomy bag and am dealing with swollen cancerous lymph nodes. Be speedy. God guide you into action. Arigato Fri, 21 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT I hope your wife is ok I just want to say they misdiagnosed me for 3 years even though they checked my blood. They said everything was fine even though there was mucous in my stool narrowing and finally I insisted on a colonoscomy and they found Stage 4 rectal cancer, Please unless you have a colonoscomy, you can't be sure . Please have one done. Good Luck...Debbie Debbten Wed, 02 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT Thanks to all for your kind words and your sharing. Just the last few days my wife has had intestinal blockage and we are on the way to the ER. I will insist on a biospy(sp). Thanks again. Greg Childofgod Wed, 02 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT
