if all the testing the doctor is require do nothing why do it the result will not change anything it is not like by know that there is a change it will affect the outcome the dmds have a 30 help rate I do not say success because there can not be a success if it can not fix thing dmds can cause cancer liver damage and a few other nice thing there are no long term study to prove anything all the post result from any trial are useless because the study time is short enough that the test subject could just as easily go two year without experience any major change everytime I ask no one can give I a straight answer as to what these drug are do they are not cure they are cocktail of crap we are blindly put in our body because we are tell to do so they do not stop anything doctor are in it for the kick back we are simply guinea pig we have no control over the course so again I say what s the point to shell out thousand of dollar so you can tell I the result to nothing you can fix no thank I am good,neutral,1

into the fire I ask the lord how much bad can it get he show I last week we have a line of severe thunderstorm with straight line wind rip through our state last week it cause significant property damage in our little town but thankfully no injury to human life our house was spare but our huge barn and our woodworking shop were decimate we lose so many thing which I know should not be important but you d have to share my love of dewalt over diamond any day and my passion for create thing with my own hand why is this relevant you ask perhaps pour yourself a cup of tea maybe a cookie or 2 and I will explain many of you are weary of my saga as am I my most recent thread was entitle morphine er hard to poop that thread go into the bowel of my long suffering so I would not belabor the issue I will say that for now the status remain the same I have been mia on the board for over a week I was schedule to see my prime minister doctor as a work in but have to postpone until my schedule appointment on 4 16 due to the storm I remain on the 15 mg morphine er 3xday I am still dreadfully constipate no matter what I try I start an herbal cascara sagrada for constipation yesterday as recommend by a friend no result yet although I have hope for the diarrhea it warn of I am suffer extreme anxiety over the next step in pain management for I for those of you who are familiar you know that fentanyl is my doctor drug of choice due to my altered stomach pouch thus far I have resist the patch for several reason not the least of which is the cost I have research the possibility of pharm assistance no word yet and I have talk to my pharmacist who I trust explicitly he say that my pharmacy have not sell name brand in 20 year everyone he know use the generic therein lie the rub that is not what I have read regard fentanyl patch review of name brand vs generic I read of adhesive failure which I have in 2005 2006 but would have think 8 year would have advance and overcome that issue I will say that duragesic provide the only relief I have feel in over half my life I become fearful though because I quickly ramp in dosage and interval to the point where I was experience withdrawal before I reach the 48 hour dosing schedule I look back hindsight is 20 20 and realize I was use the patch during that summer so I am sure that I sweat profusely and shower sometimes twice daily I protect the patch as well I could from the shower but never consider the perspiration affect the intake fast forward to now my pharmacist think that I could afford the generic patch 2 box monthly if use at average 72 hour interval well I have never been average and my previous experience teach I that I will need a minimum of 50 mcg every 48 hrs I am certainly no expert but it seem in my opinion that once I jump into that fire I will be consume I can not handle the potential for financial issue take fentanyl for the rest of my life and to be honest I can not deal with the logistical ramification of patch that do not stick do not deliver adequately or bad fail completely I too experience raise red outline of the patch in 2005 2006 that is no surprise as I am fair complected and have extremely sensitive skin I react badly to even medical tape and band aid I do not know why I am type this verbal vomit except that I feel so lost it was suggest that I continue to increase dosage of morphine until acceptable degree of pain relief is achieve well right now I know that the current dosage is not enough but I assume increase mg equal increase constipation that is a deal breaker as my stomach feel right now like my intestine could rupture if no bm by late afternoon I will take a hospital issue 32 oz enema to get relief it was suggest that perhaps I am an enigma in that my body is absorb enough morphine to cause side effect but not enough to ease pain it was also suggest that morphine was a poor choice altogether for bioavailability in my system and perhaps I would do well with a short acting medication like oxycodone my prime minister doctor say during my last visit that if 3x15 mg daily was not sufficient we would have to revisit hydrocodone without acetamenophin but then were back at square one can my pouch tolerate oxycodone can I afford it if generic is available it do make sense to I that perhaps I should exhaust all possibility before fentanyl because there would be nowhere to go from there I admire those of you who endure the stress of patch multiple patch application my husband tell I that I have patience equivalent to the size of a fruit fly I agree I have been patient with first the methadone trial and now the morphine er I know it is only been 2 5 month but it seem like dog year thank you all for allow I to ramble on and on I must attach a disclaimer that all of the opinion express in this post are mine only they are not intend as anything more than my own personal feeling and experience I would so appreciate your thought and input I just do not accept that I am an enigma,negative,0
this is my first post I am hope for some input and advice from other who may have an understanding of what I am go through when I was 30 year old I start to have menstrual problem and pain in my abdomen I have an abdominal ct and have to have a hysterectomy at that time for endometriosis I was also tell that two hemangiomas were find on my liver measure 3 cm and 2 cm I was tell that liver hemangiomas were incidental finding very common and do not cause any symptom or pain I was tell to not worry about they and to go on in my life as if I do not even know I have they and that is what I do I am now 56 year old in november 2012 I start to experience a lot of upper right abdominal pain and back pain I go to my pcp and she refer I to a gastroenterologist that is when my nightmare begin I have an endoscopy and an abdominal ct scan I was tell I have multiple hemangiomas on my liver three were note at that time the large measure 8 cm then 3 3 cm and 2 8 cm since then I have see a chiropractor three gastroenterologist four surgeon two vascular and interventional radiologist a cardiologist a neurologist and a pain management doctor I have see doctor at ri hospital massachusetts general hospital and johns hopkins hospital I have lose track of the number of mris ct and ultrasound I have have in june 2013 I have a liver embolization and in october 2013 I have my gall bladder remove as of today I am still in terrible pain and still do not have an answer as to the source of my pain I have constant stabbing shoot pain in my upper right abdoman and back I an barely sit and wear a bra or pant with a snap button or zipper is excruciating I feel sick after I eat and have never been sooooo tired I have absolutely no energy I have take a leave of absence from work because I can barely make it though the day I spend my day and night at home lay on the couch in my pajama I am very discouraged and frustrated I have been tell contradict information from my doctor I have been refer from doctor to doctor none of they seem to want to intervene or touch I some of they say hemangiomas never cause pain while other say they have even instance where hemangiomas do cause pain one thing they fully agree on is that the large hemanguoma is pretty much inoperable because of its location they say the surgery would be very extensive and life threaten 80 to 90 of my liver would have to be remove and because hemangiomas are benign the risk is not worth it my last ct was in december 2013 seven hemangiomas were note several small lesion were also see but were too small to characterize recently I was tell I have three tarlov cyst on my spine that was new news to I because no doctor have ever mention they to I before so now I have one doctor say he feel the tarlov cyst are cause my pain and not the hemangiomas and I have another doctor say he feel it is the hemangiomas cause my pain and not the tarlov cyst I speak to my doctor a few day ago and he suggest some type of celiac block I have no idea why I would need that my pain management doctor is not sure there is anything he can do to help I either I am start to feel they are grasp at straw in the meantime I sit here in pain every day with no definitive answer as to the source of my pain and what I can do to alleviate it I am stick between a rock and a hard place I have been tell by a few doctor to just take pain medication which I refuse to do and to see a psychiatrist I have have it I need an answer good bad or ugly I am ready to do whatever I have to do to get back into life I look forward to your input thank,negative,0
I do a liver function pathology test about 6 month ago and it was fine only drink occasionally since then but this last week have a crazy string of party drink total roughly 50 60 standard drink in the week then fast 8hrs on water and have the liver pathology do doctor call I right away and say my number are really really bad and send I for liver biopsy and some other test I have not do yet I have been a wreck since this news and think the bad while I wait for the test day some thing I desperately want to know 1 is it at least possible all that drink in the week lead up to the test could have make the result crazy is that normal common 2 can the liver get acutely damage like that and repair itself quickly once alcohol is stop I do not have any symptom other than high bp I have have for ten year 3 the only thing that change apart from the alcohol binge since the last test have been my bp med got change to a different combination could a side effect of bp medication be responsible anyone who can tell I anything I will be ridiculously grateful dan,negative,0
hi all I have lurk on these forum for year but this is my first time post since I do not really know where else to turn and I am just look for some support and advice I am 35 yrs old and male early this year I have an ultrasound of my liver due to elevated liver function on my blood test I was take crestor at the time for elevated cholesterol during the ultrasound they find something which then require a follow up mri mri show a 4 8 cm mass I go to the gi for consultation and he was call it a complex cyst and he order blood test to check for cancer marker those test come back negative and he say we should wait 3 month and re image and do the blood work again to check my liver function so fast forward to now after see the next round of mri image and blood work which was perfectly normal by the way the gi is call it an adenoma which he say is most likely benign but have about a 15 chance of turn malignant at some point the mri report say 5 cm this time but he say that the 2 cm was negligible base on the equipment radiologist and so on so he consider it stable however he do recommend that I consult with a surgeon to have it remove at some point so that is my next stop in 2 week my concern are 1 from my research this seem to be a problem that effect mainly woman due to birth control have any man here been diagnose with an adenoma and what was the outcome 2 another thing is that I am extremely terrified that this might be metastasis from cancer somewhere else in my body I have gerd and chronic gastritis and those are go crazy due to this anxiety so I feel like every ache and pain is indicative of a terrible problem of course bloat burn stomach and so on is the 1 sign of almost every abdominal cancer should I have my doctor order a colonoscopy is this fear even rational I would love to hear anyone else experience with something like this I think the anxiety is the bad part and not really feel like I am in control at the very least I will update with my result so other can learn from my experience as well thank chris,neutral,1

33 year old male non smoker I do drink and like most americans I could afford to lose 10 pound I know no one here is qualified to formally diagnosis I I am just look for feedback since late march 2012 I start get a weird ache in the middle of my breastbone think perhaps it was heartburn no reaction to prilosec ulcer meds for month sept endoscopy in 2012 13 do not show acid reflux do not think it was a heart issue since I do not necessarily feel it say during workout or when I go to some theme park it mostly hit I when I was mentally stress for example I have the most pain right after I start experience this heart burn because I have anxiety over not respond to the prilosec as I stop worry about it after the endo in 2012 the pain become much less frequent I look up just about every coronary issue last week I read about angina for the first time at first it was remind I of my chest pain but I have take jog do weight machine at the gym have physically exert myself countless time since early 2012 and I do not remember one time where I feel physical activity trigger this chest pain what I do know is that anxiety and mental stress can trigger it I have generalize anxiety and health anxiety the latter because of an actual health scare these pain are not bring on by panic attack or severe anxiety attack in case you re think that I know what those can feel like I just have something similar to generalized anxiety where I stress and stress about it case in point is now I am consciously or subconsciously think about this chest issue being cardiac relate and therefore lately I am almost constantly feel chest ache take xanax help but that is because it calm the negative thought I am a logical person this is real achy pain in the middle of the sternum sometimes I think it is radiate toward the right shoulder area but that is only recent blood test are normal no diabetes I do not have high blood pressure ekg normal but await stress test and unsure if this is even helpful since physical exertion have not been the cause I am adopt so I am not aware of my family history few month ago I also start to notice an achy feeling below the sternum in the area of the aorta abdomnal ultrasound say aorta is normal size caliber but still concern have some fatigue but also low vit d not sure whether it is relevent so I will just stick to the pain here what confuse I if it is angina then why do physical exertion not cause pain and if stress or anxiety is cause this then why is it that when I was go through more than 2 month of anxiety over health issue not relate to my chest liver cancer scare because of mass that later turn out benign colon cancer scare for two month I really do not feel much chest pain in other word is not mental stress mental stress why is it that only when the stress was focus on the chest that I am now feel a constant ache in the center of the sternum or do the body choose what area to send pain signal to depend on what you re worried about anyone relate to this any idea also any idea of whether a stress test would be at all helpful here I think my anxiety is on overload and therefore there is chronic chest pain whereas before this crappy chest pain only come when I would be drink coffee and do work that stress I out I am a reporter so I work against the clock I am think about go to the er on monday I do not want to take chance,negative,0

I am grasp at straw on how to approach a health issue I have been deal with for the past 6 8 month or so this board seem to be as good a forum as any but if there is somewhere online well suit to seek advice with these problem please feel free to direct I there this post could have go under a few different forum on this board alone but when you re talk amylase lipase the pancreas is the main concern I honestly do not know if this is a pancreas problem though this is go to be a lot to read and I thank anyone in advance that take the time to do so and share any feedback I am a male in my early 30 generally in good health I have a stretch of about 10 day early this year where my bowel movement increase from the normal once per day to 3 5 time per day I was very concerned and my doctor suspect ib but after some blood work she see that my amylase was in the 500 level and send I to get a cat scan she do not let I know that my lipase was normal though and after read online about elevated amylase I jump to the conclusion I probably have pancreatitis I do enjoy drink alcohol on a regular basis and this period of irregular bowel movement do come around the time of a particularly bad weekend in term of my alcohol consumption I figure that a decade of drinking have probably do this to my pancrea when I go to the hospital for the cat scan the technician think it was strange that my script just with the barium milkshake prep and not with an imaging injection she almost try to convince I to go ahead and get the imaging anyway to eliminate the need to come back and do the scan again with it I think this was outside of the area of expertise of the technician to decide and tell she so she go and consult with the doctor who was go to review the scan and he confirm that I just need the barium drink milkshake and they have I chug even more to get the good scan possible that stuff is less than pleasant from there I go to a gi specialist where I was see by a nurse practitioner she was also consult with a doctor on staff no appointment were available with a doctor in the immediate future at the time by the time of this appointment my bowel movement have return to normal I should note that I have no other unusual symptom during this time period no pain cramp nausea or anything of that nature when I explain this to the nurse practitioner and she review my blood work and the cat scan she basically tell I there was no reason she could see why my amylase was so elevated this was the first time I find out that my lipase level were in fact normal so pancreatitis was unlikely wish my doctor know this because I have work myself up that I definitely have it for the 2 3 week this was go on the cat scan result were completely normal or unremarkable as the terminology go after examine my abdoman and review with I the lack of other symptom the nurse practitioner say the other possible culprit such as ulcer liver problem cancer and so on were unlikely she speak with the doctor and come back and let I know the most likely scenario was either that this was a one time anomaly or that I have a condition call macroamylasemia which is benign and cause elevated amylase level either way she do not think I have much cause for concern she write a script for I to take a 24 hour urine sample to check for amylase level there and to get more blood work in a month or so she also point out that if I have macroamylasemia my amylase level have probably been elevate for a while and were most likely unrelated to the stretch of irregular bowel movement I have the urine test come back normal but the blood work have my amylase level still in the 400 level at this point I was tell to go back to the gi specialist but I do not understand why maybe the nurse practitioner do not explain this well but from what she tell I there was not much more they could do for I in this situation I do not believe there is a way to test for macroamylasemia although as I say I may be mistaken as my symptom have subside and I was at a point in my health insurance where I would be pay 100 out of pocket up until october I make the decision not to go back to the gi specialist my logic being we were probably go to need to start a whole new batch of test and in the end I was skeptical that they would provide any new information I tell myself if my symptom return I would address it then now I have notice as I have get old that the day after drink I tend to have much high frequency of bowel movement and since thanksgiving I have have another stretch of time where my bowel movement have noticeably increase for the first time consistently since the first episode 6 8 month back while I do think the most likely scenario is that I have macroamylasemia I also do not doubt that the drinking I have do have take its toll on my body and my bowel issue could be relate this period since thanksgiving have not been a constant problem every day and have not been as bad as the previous stretch so I am not as concerned about it but I do coincidentally have an appointment with my doctor come up later this week just for a check up I am not sure how to approach these problem with her past another cat scan with imaging I do not know what else can be do to determine what s go on with I and for the problem I am have I am not certain what the imaging will show that the previous scan do not show maybe a more detailed look at my liver with my insurance I am back at a point where I can easily afford some expensive work but I do not want to do it just for the sake of have it do and then hit that donut hole in my coverage again once again I am very thankful for anyone who take the time to read all of that and give I any feedback half of I feel like I am make too big deal out of this and that I am probably just a normal male around this age who have indulge in a bachelor lifestyle and whose body can not handle the abuse I have put it through the same way I could in my 20 but the other half of I is concern I am ignore what could be a potentially very serious problem,neutral,1

I have 3 small per annum sized bump around my nipple on my right breast they were hard like knot and swollen stand out from the skin not rest inside the skin like a pimple I ask my primary care physician about this back when the first one develop about 2 year ago she say it was more than likely a swollen or infected montgomery gland and that it was totally normal especially because I have have my nipple pierce at the time however since it ache and hurt I insist on a mammogram I am almost 27 year old family history of breast cancer so I know how important it is to be check my mammogram come back with clean result after the first bump I was not too concerned and just shrug it off I take out the piercing as not have the bump was more of a concern to I than keep the piercing about 4 month ago two more of these little bump sprout up almost form a triangle around my nipple they are all hard raise and painful as I was clean they one day I accidentally squeeze the old one and it pop I was mortify so much puss come out and it was not like a pimple at all it was like a hard more dry out puss and so much of it after the puss come out it bleed more than I think it would require I to change the bandage several time I notice once I clean it out there was a hole where the bump have been almost like a crater nothing like a pimple but an actual opening that go down into my skin you could see inside this open the only thing I can compare it to it when I was bit by a brown recluse the puss and the opening after it was clean the only difference is the skin surround these lump look like regular areola not red black and decay like the spider bite my doctor continue to insist this is normal but it is been freak I out so I take it upon myself to get rid of they since she insist they were so harmless and I would cut off a wart on my finger before with no problem the first one open on it is own I clean it out and bandage it I purchase a brand new set of nail clipper sterilize they and the skin and try to cut one open I could not do it it hurt like I was try to cut a chunk of my finger off it surprise I it was almost like my bump have nerve ending in they not common with swollen montgomery gland at least in my understanding since it hurt too badly to cut off completely I just cut a gash into the side and drain the puss after which I clean and sterilize the utensil and opening after each cut aside from the opening the pain is go and the bump are no long there to stand out they are heal fairly well it is difficult to air they out since they are on my breast but I was wonder if anyone know of a down side or side effect that someone else may have get from do this or something along these line I have never hear of anyone else try to get rid of they themselves so I figure what the h e double hockey stick I will keep this thread update as they heal progress if they get bad or go away altogether and so on any input is greatly appreciate,negative,0

cholesterol information should not be so vague I am have difficulty complete a regiment I feel should not be so complex I complete two cholesterol test six week apart almost a year ago a week before my second test a nurse call to tell I I have a test for cholesterol originally I understand it as a completely different appointment for a completely different issue and say it was just routine because I have an elevated cholesterol level one month after the test I was tell to take a statin and my number were in range at tc 167 hdl 48 ldl 103 trig 81 by a nurse when I ask what the number mean I receive the result via letter I ask the following month about how long it take to finish the medication I was tell long time but I could try to decrease the dosage if I was interested but it was so low to start that it would be almost pointless and I would have to come back for more test my doctor state that once I complete my cholesterol treatment we may continue with any other issue I discover he also do not know how long nor have any target number ask on multiple occasion I was tell to make some change since I was at 167 so I I switch from 2 1 milk white rice a brown rice chicken a fish 3hrs a 8hrs of exercise trade all vacation and sick time to work out cancel all children after school activity due to logistic of work out eat more fruit and oatmeal but have to change job to accommodate the extra bathroom break I am also have more difficulty gain weight after the change I was tell my next cholesterol test could be sometime next year 2 in 2011 1 in 2013 how often is normal 1 how long do it take to get rid of cholesterol I was tell it is an art not a science 2 can I reasonably expect completion before I am 43 just turn 42 3 how high do cholesterol level typically spike for test 4 how much weight can I expect to gain use a cholesterol diet a lot of this cholesterol stuff sound make up and I am about to give up but I do want to give it an honest attempt because I do not go to medical school and I assume this is for my own good by the way this is the long I have ever take a medication I have take approximately 262 20 mg as of today,neutral,1

that were neg for colon cancer and was put on a medicine call amitia so that I would not get the acute abdominal pain or bloat anymore last week after eat lunch and a bowl of icecream 3 hour later after wake up from a nap I feel the pain start though out my abdomen let the journey begin I tell myself oh no not another trip to the er I hold myself from go for hour hope it would go away with no success my spouse finally wind up take I at 9 pm they give I pain medication iv plus iv fluids x ray perform and cat scan with oral contrast and no iv contrast result questionable small bowel thickening in leave upper quadrant suggest an infectious or inflammatory enteritis vs simple luminal underdistenstion minimal free fluid adjacent in to the inferior tip of right hepatic lobe indicate an acute process whose epicenter is unclear but would unlikely be the luq small bowel consider hepatitis or other liver pathology which is somewhat limited in evaluation since no iv contrast was use occult bowel pathology or even pelvic inflammaroty disease gonococcal perihepatitis although no definite pelvic abnormality are see other than trace pelvic free fluid and patient may be status partial hysterectomy I have a total hysterectomy back in 2005 this is the 2nd time a radiologist have state I have only a partial hysterectomy I even call my gyno office to have the nurse read my surgical report to I to make absolute sure I make no mistake about this what on earth are these radiolgist see note go back to a ct scan perform in 2008 it state the right lobe of my liver is prominent and that it extend below the iliac crest my family doctor was not concerned about this so I was not so I forget about it all my other previous ct scan never comment about my liver being prominent I mention this to the er dr the other night and he say a woman of my size is not unusual for their liver to be extend to the iliac crest all my other ct scan always say my liver was good in size when the er dr come in to tell I that everything come out clear I ask for a copy of the ct scan report and find out all this stuff that I write above he tell I that my blood work was normal and therefore feel there is nothing wrong with I and discharge I and tell I to follow up with a gastro doctor in 2 4 day I call my gastro office and ask to make an appointment they say they would have the dr read the report and they would call I back they call I back state that I do need to come in and see he but that he can not fit I in for two week so I take the appointment thing physically have change since

I 24f have a close friend 23f who have lung cancer she was diagnose about 2 year ago throughout that time she have refuse any and all treatment option and yesterday I find out that on her last visit to the doctor they tell she that she would need to get a lung transplant which she is again steadfastly refuse the doctor have tell she not to plan anything big for this year so I suspect they are ease into tell she that she really do not have that much time leave to live likely less than a year she have previously say that she would do chemo when it get to the point of doctor tell she you need to do this or you will die but I think it may have get to that point and she is still refuse to do chemo nor pursue any treatment option that could help as a close friend I understand and respect that she do not want to have any medical intervention and I really can not talk she into it she is incredibly willful as a human though I am a bit stunned that she have the option to treat this before it get to this point and no matter what was say or do she still refuse and now she is at the point where this will very likely if not certainly kill she I know that I can not really understand what she is been through in her life that she would choose to get to this point it make no sense to I but I do not need to understand it I just need to respect it and her wish even though it is so hard for I to think about lose my friend I would really like some help as to how to well be there for she in these time she is express previously that she do not want people to treat she any differently and that is something I respect but beyond that this is something I have not have much experience with handle apart from when my grandmother pass away from metastasized colon cancer in 2018 any help would be greatly appreciate advice supportive and understanding word anecdote I am open to anything that can help I well make the time I still have with she as good as I possibly can thank you for the support hopefully I can come back and talk about this more at some point in the future,negative,0

I assume the bump appointment is a bad sign I am have some horrible guilt right now as well in the past my family have know people who ve die from lung cancer most of they were diagnose within a few month of smoking cessation a little over a year ago my 70 yo mom fall down some stair I come to stay with she while she heal and two week later she have a heart attack she is have copd emphysema chronic bronchitis for quite a while now but after the heart attack she is been on constant oxygen I have move in permanently with my family to take care of she this past summer she develop pneumonia she spend a week in the hospital and during a bad coughing fit suffer another heart attack she come home and first thing she do was smoke a cigarette she have been smoke the whole time being her caregiver and a smoker as well I begin to really push for we both to quit she do not want too so I basically guilte she into it also use some manipulating threat essentially it is truly how I was feel though but in a nutshell I say that I am feel like were do everything for she for nothing I pretty much say why should I take you to all these doctor appointment fill your prescription dish out your pill and nebulizer treatment hold you when you re scared and can not breathe cook and clean if you re go to undo it all by smoke well her main answer was because I have have friend who were fine smoking but get cancer when they quit I guess I wear she down enough and in september she finally quit I switch to vape and have decrease the nicotine content dramatically soon I will stop that too cause I feel like a giant hypocrite by the end of november she actually start feel well she was so happy she say thing like I should have quit year ago but she consistently still joke watch I am go to get lung cancer because I quit though around christmas she was have some chest pain we go to the er and she have a chest x ray blood work and an ekg amazingly her pneumonia was finally clear and her ef ejection fraction was up to 55 from 35 which mean her heart was strong the chest pain was likely from the cardiac rehab exercise she say that was the good christmas present she is ever have then about 2 week ago she have a follow up with her pulmonologist a regular 4 month follow up and her yearly mri of her lung her pulmonologist is on the verge of retirement and he is been switch up her appointment somehow it work out that she have her mri 2 hour before her appointment which was just a coincidence we sit with he and he first show we the x ray from december he point out some scarring in her bottom leave right lung from the pneumonia I then ask if he have the result from the mri yet he was surprised when we say she just have one hour before he pull it up and review it in front of we he go through the picture or whatever and show we the scar from the pneumonia he was use a pen to show there is some scar there some scar there and then he point to a tiny spot and say and probably some scare there I could see the wheel turn in his head though at that moment he then say well wait and switch to a different view where he could go throu the individual slice he go back and forth a few time and say I would like you to get a pet scan he say that the radiologist have not write the report yet but I would like a well look at that spot he then go into an oncology lesson say that he think the oncology department here treat tumor without a biopsy if it is cancerous they would likely blast it with radiation but she probably would not need chemotherapy my mom make a joking comment maybe it is good you see this now the doc say why you might have cancer she say well if you re just see it maybe we catch it early in which he say the fact that it was not there 3 week ago is not good at all a few day later the nurse call with a pet scan appointment for this past saturday she have to fast and skip her diabetes med I guess they inject some sort of radioactive glucose or something which should light up a tumor like a christmas tree this doctor is only work tuesday to thursday because he is try to retire she have an appointment set up for thursday but the office call at 8 of the clock this morning to change her appointment to tuesday were both freak out about it even my mom comment if it was nothing they would ve schedule for a later date I tend to agree although you never know with this doctor of course my mom have to do the tell you so dance she say that she never should have quit smoking I try to look it up and of course there is nothing say that smoking prevent cancer laugh out loud but it really seem like anyone we ve know have been diagnose after they quit also we ve notice a trend where once someone is cut open to remove a tumor it seem to help it spread my mom say it is almost like the oxygen get to the cancer is like throw gas on a fire I know these thing are unconfirmed but it do seem weird that is what s happen with the people we know,negative,0

my father have a ct scan last month and have a checkup with his doctor a couple of day before who is now send he to do the bronchoscopy they see a group of lymph node enlarge in the middle part of the lung mediastinum sorry if my english is bad the large one being 1 9x1 6 so they do not know what it is and their is a concern it might be bad last time he do the scan was in december and the large ln was around 1 2 at the time he also have a node something like a scar it is not the lymph one of 7 mm which grow up to 9 5 mm they say that is not big what bother they more right now is the lymph node enlarge he go to ct scan for other thing so this was discover quite by accident in the last couple of year he have one heart attack bladder cancer treat successfully and a stroke he recover he also have too many scan something like 5 6 during the last year or two we do not have low dose scanner for lung here where we live this is why now they recommend the bronhoscopy instead of repeat the ct scan only possible in six month they say I know we can only wait for the intervention to be do and the result he also have heart issue irregular heart rhythm and is quite scared of the anesthesia I wonder also if these lymph node could be enlarge because he receive the covid vaccine and the flu vaccine before that research say the swallowing of lymph node can be a symptom of the vaccine although three month have pass since he got revaccinate sinopharm vaccine it is just a hope is this typical for the lung cancer is the bronhoscopy the good thing we could do right now if you have any advice please do share,neutral,1
sadly yesterday my dad call I that he get the result back of his ct scan with contrast dye the doctor say they see an anomaly and he is schedule to get a bronchoscopy next week furthermore they name pet scan could be schedule the do not say if my dad should be worry only that they observe an anomaly which show highlight due to the contrast dye I have been look up everything I know about ct scan result and follow up procedure but to be honest it do not look good though I have read about false positive sometimes as high as 33 I really hope is benign or some leftover of his recent pneumonia astma attack,neutral,1

you have cancer a how is a 14 year old suppose to process this this is where my cancer story begin at 14 my bud teenage life was shake by a brain tumor diagnosis I didna t even know what the word a cancera initially entail after my diagnosis but before my impending surgery I ask my mom a so will I be able to go on the youth group trip in a couple of day a I have no idea what was come and was blissfully unaware of what being diagnose with cancer actually mean from age 14 a age 22 I experience three brain surgery radiation and chemotherapy through all of the surgery and treatment I never press pause on the other aspect of my life my radiation day were such that I have a treatment in the morning at the hospital take a nap at home wake up in time to go to school for the second part of the day and stay after school to make up the work that I have miss in the first part of the day I have my second surgery in july 2012 and start college a month later in august 2012 I start chemo in december 2012 in the middle of my freshman year and continue my year and a half of therapy through my sophomore year for my third surgery I take off about two month from work and return like nothing have happen my focus was always on progress I was always go go go I never stop to think that there was any alternative to balance everything at once in hindsight I think that take time off from school may have been a wise decision however what I do was right for I in that moment and I think it was the reason why I was always blindly optimistic I didna t have time to focus on the diagnosis last year my doctor utter the word that I never believe that I would hear I was tell that I was to be move to a survivorship program in my head I think a havena t I been survive cancer all along isna t that what ia ve been do a yet now it have a label I am a a survivora I wasna t anticipate that the word a survivora would ever make I feel empty but I was use to always have the structure of school and the focus on get healthy after a treatment that the idea of it all fall to the side and press pause on that part of my life was crazy to I this diagnosis have been such a big part of I and my familya s live since ia ve been 14 you mean that I can focus on something else besides get healthy while being diagnose with cancer at a young age can make you emotionally mature overnight there are some aspect of life that are slow down or pause this was the first time that I really have time to breathe and think about myself and what I really want to do with my life not focus on get a degree or treatment cancer can really take a toll on mental health I start think about what really make I happy and what I want my future to look like I wasna t accustom to think in such a long term way think blissfully about the future was somewhat new for I on my journey of rediscover myself after get the a survivora label I reawaken my passion for yoga I was look to regain the strength that I have lose during treatment and also heal my mind in the process yoga seem like a no brainer therefore I start on my yoga journey and havena t look back since it is my hope to one day bring yoga to fellow cancer survivor so we can all experience the amazing benefit the practice have to offer we the journey of self discovery is so important after a truly harrowing event such as a cancer diagnosis a healthy recovery journey is also full of aspect of self discovery part of recovery is re envision your life after cancer and find what make you shine ia m look forward to where my recovery journey take I and how I can help other in the future,negative,0

hi guy I would like to thank everyone for their post as it is help I a good deal figure out my dad situation I was wonder what anyone else experience with gene mutation is let I start from the beginning we were under the impression a week or so ago that dad do not have a whole lot of time leave at 58 as a non smoker he was diagnose with stage 3c assume 4 adenocarcinoma of the lung it is spread to his local lymph node and also into his trachea assume that it is spread to his adrenal gland because there was suspicious activity there during the pet scan nearly 6x suv but the nodule is very small and my dad is not so they say its a very difficult biopsy to do to find out it is go to a very popular place for lung cancer to go they would also treat stage 4 like they would stage 3c anyway so that is how we get to the assume stage 4 part his oncologist do his fellowship at this place where they test for gene mutation sound like they are really back log but he send my dad tissue to they not sure if standard practice or not start the first round of chemo I believe the platinum base one but I have learn and forget so much over the last two month please forgive I on any error we are deffinitely in info overload at the moment anyway get in a light dose champ through it work a week of half day immediately after chemo when the doc say it would take he down for at least a week or two anyway stress depression anger any and every emotion we seem to have feel the extreme of over the last couple month so right now I do not want to get my hope up on the info that we receive yesterday I do not know if I can go through that again in a week or month or 3 month or whatever come to find out its a gene mutation efgr exon 19 now what google say and what the oncologist say are a little different the article I google give I the impression that the progression will be block for an average of 20 month now I was not in the room with the oncologist so all I have is my mother repeat of the information but he was make it sound like significantly long and there was a chance the medication might even shrink the masse and potentially extend his life indeffinitely I really do not want to get my hope up I am extatic at a free extension of 20 month it feel like a miracle and that I should not ask for more otherwise I might lose the first miracle but is anyone here familiar with mutation first hand I really do not want to get my hope up and stay realistic prepare for bad case scenario and hope for good is how I have manage to keep my head together for the last two month what can I expect,neutral,1

hello my good friend girlfriend was diagnose with lung cancer in september after an x ray regard an unrelated problem the hospital she is at have its up and down one of the downside being lack of communication with my friend overwhelmed with everything this entail I was finally able to access the official diagnosis paper and am try to make sense of it all I will try my good to translate this to understandable english but the term are unfamiliar to I so it is a bit difficult and the order might be a bit odd since it is translate from another language from 16th of september 2020 poorly to moderately differenciate ttf 1 positive adenocarcinoma of the middle lobe with pleural carcinosis and lymphangitic carcinomatosis pt2a pm1a ple l1 v0 g3 rx because of poor communication we still do not fully understand how bad this is if it is consider treatable how far it is go or anything but we do have the impression that it is rather serious and I just want to know that there is something that can be do if anyone also have any insight on the good treatment option that would be great unfortunately she was very reluctant to start chemotherapy after another doctor tell she to only do mistletoe therapy which in itself I consider to be very unethical she have a difficult time make decision and want to trust doctor but have a history of being let down so far the only thing she have do was to start mistletoe therapy and somehow the hostpital do not continue this after write she out from the hospital she is now back in the hospital have about 2 litre of fluid in her pleura they have do a bronchioscopy and tomorrow they want to do a pleurodesis trough thorascopy now it seem the chance of survival with this procedure is estimate to be 80 which mena a 1 in 5 chance of die and understandably this is alarming for they both especially since her general health considiton is poor on top of that it supposedly come with a lot of potential side effect and she is already suffer from chronic pain that is sometimes extreme something that have not been entirely understand yet and the fear is also that it will worsen if anyone have any insight especially about what exactly this diagnosis mean we do not even know what stage it is to be consider what her chance are and so on treatment option and so on I just want she to get healthy and have a chance at live a good life instead of always have pain but I have no idea how to help thank you,neutral,1

I think this was an interesting article new device use gold nanoparticle to test for lung cancer sciencedaily nov 17 2011 the metabolism of lung cancer patient is different than the metabolism of healthy people and so the molecule that make up cancer patient exhale breath are different too a new device pioneer at the university of colorado cancer center and nobel prize win technion university in haifa israel use gold nanoparticle to trap and define these molecule in exhaled breath by compare these molecular signature to control group the device can tell not only if a lung is cancerous but if the cancer is small cell or non small cell and adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma this could totally revolutionize lung cancer screening and diagnosis say fred r hirsch md phd investigator at the see you cancer center and professor of medical oncology at the university of colorado school of medicine the perspective here is the development of a non traumatic easy cheap approach to early detection and differentiation of lung cancer the proof of concept recently publish in the journal nanomedicine show that in a preliminary study the device clearly distinguish between the volatile organic compound in cancer patient exhale breath compare to the breath of a control group subject simply exhale into a bag which separate superficial exhale breath from breath that originate deeply in the lung and then this deep breath is analyze by an array of gold nanoparticle sensor what is unique here is that we take advantage of a nanotechnology development go on at technion university that allow we to immediately identify very small molecule hirsch say and base on the identity of these small molecule in exhaled breath hirsch and colleague can tell if the breath come from a cancerous lung the device potential use go beyond diagnosis we can measure the level of volatile organic compound against population score to diagnose cancer and type of cancer or can measure the change in patient level of vocs across time with the intent of for example monitor how well a patient respond to specific treatment hirsch say a breath now and a breath after treatment could define whether a patient should stay with a drug regiman or explore other option personalize medicine have come to lung cancer just as in year past it have come to breast and some other cancer the soon and more accurately you can define the cancer subtype the more precisely you can target the disease this new device could eventually help doctor quickly simply and inexpensively define patient lung cancer subtype allow they to pair therapy with subtype early in the treatment process in fact hirsch and his colleague will soon publish very encouraging preclinical datum show that the device gold nanoparticle sensor can distinguish between different type of lung cancer cell the device may also help doctor smooth the wrinkle in exist method of cancer screening for example the national lung screening trial recently report that one of the major challenge in its more than 53 000 person study of low dose chest ct scan to detect lung cancer was the trial nearly 95 percent rate of false positive ct scan find nodule that turn out not to be cancerous that call for well measure to distinguish what s a benign nodule and a malignant nodule hirsch say that is what we in the lung cancer group here at the university of colorado cancer center want to study with this technology and we have very encouraging preliminary datum we could potentially use the exhaled breath to determine who among the individual with a ct detect nodule should go for further work up and or eventually treatment where an 1 800 chest ct struggle simply exhale may succeed if it work you can imagine stand in the grocery store and have high risk people blow into a bag hirsch say,neutral,1

I am a 49 year old mother of two adult child daughter 28 and son 26 I have been marry for 28 year to my wonderful supportive husband I was diagnose october 8th of 2008 with stage iv non small cell adenocarcinoma I was a former smoker and have quit for a decade I start up again about a year and a half before my diagnosis and have quit again about two month before being diagnose my first symptom besides fatigue was a lump above my right collarbone I actually work for a cancer center as a fundraiser when I was diagnose so I know that the lump was not a good thing I have a chest x ray which show a small nodule just under a cm in my left lung I was send to a surgical oncologist for a needle biopsy of the lump in my neck it was then that I was diagnose with lung cancer I go for a ct scan and a pet scan which show that the cancer have spread from my left lung to many lymph node on both side of the center of my chest the lymph node above my collarbone and lymph node under both before midday pit I was give the statistic of 6 mos to a year but my doctor tell I about a phase ii clinical trail that was being conduct for my type of cancer I feel that I really have nothing to lose at this point so after long discussion with my onc and my family and a lot of prayer I decide that I was actually very lucky to have a comprehensive cancer center in my area that was offer a clinical trial for my type of cancer I was able to try a new treatment that was not available to the public yet if it do not work I could always go on standard treatment I go through 12 round of chemotherapy and I actually get through that without much difficulty I continue to go every three week for an infusion of avastin a maintenance drug that have no side effect I just want to let everyone know that lung cancer is not always an immediate death sentence I am still here almost three year later my life is full and I am productive and happy I have also start a fundraiser to raise awareness and fund for lung cancer research the bad part of have lung cancer is that everyone want to blame the victim I call it the black sheep of the cancer family something everyone should know if you have lung you can get lung cancer you do not have to smoke in fact 60 of all newly diagnose lung cancer patient either never smoke or have quit decade ago I am hope to meet other here who are survive this disease to find support and offer support and hope heal hug and blessing,positive,2
I have read a lot of discussion about smoking being a factor for develop lung cancer and also not being one and their thought towards it I agree that smoking for the most part is not the wise of idea if your wanting to lead a healthy life I do not agree with the fact that it cause it since I know too many people that have smoke many year and never develop lung cancer I believe that it is cause from a breakdown in the immune system where essential vitamin are lose or need and of course gene that are pass down to we it seem by now that they could detect these gene and also give something to people especially over the age of 50 to strengthen the immune system and make good cell strong to fight the bad cell that spread cancer my mom do develop lung cancer and do smoke so she do fall under that stereotype of lung cancer but there are very many that never have without cigarette my mom would of been miserable in her later day because that is all she have since she was a widow by 7 year when she past away and they comfort she and relax she and she enjoy it very much by the way she have degenerative bone disease since her early twenty and have always suffer with bone pain for many year she also become diabetic in her 50 so I have to think that just possibly the cancer come from some of those factor since I see a lot of people have diabete and then cancer I have read an article about cancer and it state that cancer cell love sugar so you should really watch your sugar intake I am glad my mom have her cigarette because they were like a good friend to she and she would of been miserable without in her final month so I do not blame she for that at all or the cigarette as I mention too many people who do not smoke or drink develop cancer as my mother in law even do and die at the age of 53 like her father who do not smoke and it was determined that it was an aggressive genetic cancer now we have to worry about my husband and our child whom it would not matter what they do because his mom eat very healthy and do not have bad habit I guess my message is that you should do what make you happy and try to limit some of the bad of course but just be comfortable in what you are do because life can be too short to do without and my mom die do what she love and I would not have it any other way and good for she we love you mom I think you should just do what ever make you feel good because in the end it would not matter because what go to happen will happen and that is that it is aggravating but I really am start to believe 100 in that I also do not like the way people who develop lung cancer are treat by some and especially doctor do not blame yourself for this disease just because it is call lung cancer my heart go out to all of you suffer with this disease good luck and good wish for success,positive,2

hi everybody I just want to say that accord to scientific research more then half of people who have hep c never develop liver cirrhosis or cancer of cause if you have a certain life style like no drinking or smoke healthy diet and if you do not have other health problem they say if you make it to 60 with hep c most likely you will die from something else it do not apply to everyone though again of cause it is well to get rid off it and start treatment no doubt but I think we scare all these young people on this site let we be more positive and optimistic especially because we can see clearly on this site that it have more success story then the other way around as I say million of people live with it happily cause they do not know they have it and only 1 5 develop cirrhosis or liver canceragain hip c is not sickness it just a condition in which the patient might develop cirrhosis or liver cancer I wish everybody to believe in yourself and believe in new triple medicine and new light med is come out soon hep c is treatable now we live in a different world cheer up,positive,2

I have just spend a long weekend reading as much as I can about this subject since my biopsy result come back last friday I still am not find clear cut answer some article seem to indicate its not cancer at all at least not yet some article refer to it as cancer it seem that they treat it like it is cancer it say most people elect for the breast save lumpectomy and radiation therapy if eligible some actually do a mastectomy and even few do a double one I guess it depend on other issue you have its almost like gamble with your life odd are you are fine with the lessor surgery but you might not be how in the heck are you suppose to make an informed decision about this everyone is different with different concern and health risk I am sure my concern is I have cirrhosis also if it is indeed classify as cancer it mean I have to be cancer free 5 year to be consider for a liver transplant should I need one I call my liver transplant office and they tell I to quit worry about my liver and focus on the breast issue but what no one is tell I is what affect radiation is go to have on my body I am already at risk for liver cancer due to the cirrhosis so I wonder is the radiation go to make I even more at risk would I even be eligible to take tamoxifen since I read it metabolize in the liver and what if this come back again then I have to start over count down until I can be eligible for a transplant if I need it and I might not have 5 year am I overreact here or do I have legitimate concern they tell I I am healthy and may never need a liver transplant and probably not for at least 5 year so that should put my mind at ease and yet I can not help but wonder what the affect of the treatment are go to do to my body and what affect it might have on my liver and who can predict the future I want my risk to be as low as possible just like everyone else and I am worried about look normal after I want to make the right decision here if anyone can shed any light on what affect this might have on someone with another illness I would appreciate it thank you so much for share your story jan,neutral,1

daily checkup alcohol still risk but viral hepatitis fatty liver disease main cause of cirrhosis by katie charles read more http www nydailynews com lifestyle health 2010 07 14 2010 07 14_daily_checkup_alcohol_still_risk_but_viral_hepatitis_fatty_liver_disease_main_ca html ixzz0u0uqy57o the specialist dr scott friedman on cirrhosis as the chief of the division of liver disease at mount sinai scott friedman is a hepatologist who do research on how scar tissue form in the liver who s at risk fibrosis is a term doctor use to describe the scarring of the liver that build up over time as the result of liver damage over many year that scar progress and culminate in cirrhosis which refer to an end stage fibrosis say friedman by then the blood flow through the liver is impaired and liver function may be compromise a healthy liver have many vital function like detoxify the blood synthesize critical protein and hormone fight off infection and metabolizing sugar fat and protein advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis are major public health concern that dramatically increase your chance of develop liver cancer liver cancer is the fast rise cancer in the you s and the third lead cause of cancer mortality worldwide say friedman the bulk of patient with cirrhosis in this country have it from hepatitis b or c about 5 3 million americans are live with chronic viral hepatitis the second lead cause of fibrosis is call fatty liver disease in which fat accumulate in the liver and eventually lead to scar obese patient often overlook the risk of liver damage say friedman obesity often go hand in hand with metabolic syndrome which is associate with elevated blood lipid and blood pressure insulin resistance and pro thrombotic and an inflammatory state fatty liver disease often improve after weight loss regimen like bariatric surgery the underlying cause for fibrosis can also be alcohol abuse or rare condition like autoimmune disease of the liver alcohol abuse is definitely a risk factor but the vast majority of patient with fibrosis and cirrhosis do not abuse alcohol say friedman the old association link cirrhosis solely with alcohol abuse no long hold true now that viral hepatitis and fatty liver disease are the two primary cause of fibrosis and cirrhosis sign and symptom one of the challenge of diagnose and treat liver disease is that it most often develop stealthily the liver is so resilient that it can compensate for year of disease and the patient may have no symptom until the disease is very progress say friedman in reality many patient have advanced fibrosis but have no symptom the very late manifestation of symptom mean that it is even more important to identify if people are at risk and screen they to catch the disease early people at high risk of liver disease include asian immigrant who are more prone to hepatitis b and patient with evidence of metabolic syndrome who are at high risk of fatty liver disease say friedman other risk factor for hepatitis include people who get blood transfusion before 1990 and people who engage in high risk behavior like needle share alcohol abuse is still a risk factor even if it is no long the most common underlying cause new evidence show that simple blood test can do an excellent job of identify a patient risk of liver disease we screen for alt alanine aminotransferase an enzyme that enter the bloodstream if the liver is damage say friedman an elevated alt level without explanation merit followup traditional treatment we have no treatment approve to attack the scarring in the liver yet say friedman but we have some excellent treatment for the underlie disease there are effective medical therapy for hepatitis b and c for hepatitis b the main drug are molecule that block the multiplication of the virus say friedman the hepatitis c treatment are a combination of the drug interferon and an immunomodulatory drug call ribavarin which together boost the immune system to fight the virus new drug that attack the hepatitis c virus directly are expect to be available next year for patient with fatty liver disease weight loss regimen also reduce liver damage anything from diet and exercise and medication to bariatric surgery can have great result say friedman if alcohol abuse is the underlying cause patient are usually require to enroll in a 12 step rehab program once the liver disease progress to the point of impair liver function doctor treat the result symptom we try to treat all the liver problem and screen for liver cancer say friedman for select patient liver transplantation may be necessary but doctor hope they can help more patient control their liver damage before it get to that point there is now evidence that if we treat the underlie liver disease even cirrhosis is reversible say friedman doctor are make liver disease an increasingly manageable illness through prevention early detection and the treatment of fibrosis before it progress too far research breakthrough some of the most exciting liver disease research is being do at the molecular level in 1985 friedman identify the cell type that s responsible for the formation of scar tissue basically we ve go from uncover what cause scar formation to soon being able to treat and prevent fibrosis with medication say friedman our hope is that if we develop new treatment for fibrosis well be able to prevent the development of cirrhosis question for your doctor hepatitis is a major public health risk so be proactive about ask your doctor am I at risk of hepatitis follow up with should I be vaccinate for hepatitis a and b another good question is do I have any risk factor for liver disease and is my alt elevate what you can do know your risk level that mean know the risk factor of liver disease especially hepatitis and fatty liver disease and know your alt level if your alt level is abnormal on even one reading you should have it follow up say dr scott friedman get inform the american liver foundation have great patient information on support service and advocacy see www liverfoundation org see a specialist if there s evidence of chronic liver disease base on virus or blood test see a liver specialist say friedman support liver disease research its a terribly underfunded research area say friedman who recommend give to the american association for the study of

first of all let I say that no two people are alike and that your result may differ from mine with that say I would like to detail my recent colonoscopy in hope that it may enlighten those who have yet to have one and those who may have have one a while back and thing are always change I have my first colonoscopy 10 year ago the prep at that time was drink over one gallon of liquid over a period of time I do remember drink start at 12 00 after midday and again at 6 00 after midday of the same day it was lot of liquid and it taste terrible fast forward to april of 2017 this time the prep I use was call suprep you mix a six ounce bottle of liquid crud with water equal 16 oz drink it down and then follow with 32 oz of water I take this at 6 00 after midday the evening before my colonoscopy and then repeat the same thing at 5 00 before midday the day of my colonoscopy the way my gastro doctor have I prep was no fiber diet two day prior and then only liquid the day before a tip to drinking and something I read which was helpful is have the liquid cold and drink it through a straw I also mix a little crystal light with the solution to take the medicinal taste away I also sip the mixture while hold my breath and then take a drink of propel water to minimize the bad taste it was a mix between sweet and savory but definitely not unbearable after take the first dose at 6 00 after midday I have one fairly large bowel movement about one hour later and then nothing else that evening I think this isn t bad at all well then come 5 00 before midday the next morning when you have to repeat everything over this time I finish the mixture at around 5 30 and even before finish the 32 oz of water bang wow I was clean out in a few hour and everything come out like a waterfall you know you have do a good job when whatever wind up come out at the end is clear I have to leave for my 8 00 before midday appointment at 7 30 before midday not really know if I was go to have to go again I would suggest maybe wear an adult diaper to the doctor s office in case you need to go on the way I didn t have one so I wrap a towel in my undie just in case I didn t go in the car but need to dash to the restroom 2 3 time prior to the colonoscopy now the colonoscopy is start you can t drink anything at all two hour prior to the procedure but you have been go to the bathroom a lot and when they attempt to put in the iv they have a really hard time because I was dehydrate no duh there isn t much you can do about this they eventually find a vein somewhere on my right side but the doctor was talk to I try to distract I and I think it was finally put in my hand colonoscopy is do with the light anesthesia give you don t and shouldn t remember much if anything about the whole process I love that part you then recover and my doctor say to resume a regular diet as soon as I feel like it I have one bowel movement the evening of and see blood in my stool and on the toilet paper I call after hour and they say to watch it and let they know if it didn t go away the next day well the next day today I have another bowel movement and everything come out good I am hope to be out of the wood at this point I have have discomfort in my intestine pass gas and feel somewhat nauseous I take some gas pill for this and they really help I have three diminutive small polyp that were remove and send to pathology I am cross my finger to receive a good report back after this the doctor will give recommendation on when to repeat the colonoscopy not a lot of fun but necessary if you are 50 and above I would rather go through this than not and find out too late that I have colon cancer hope this have been helpful,positive,2

I hope that someone will please answer since I am desperate with worry and can not stop cry I have been downright stupid I will admit I am 62 and have never have a colonoscopy out of fear of the anesthesia neither colon cancer nor polyp run in my family and I have lab do every 6 month last time 2 week ago and everything was completely normal so I have not worry much about the colonoscopy however over the past couple of year I have have very light pink blood 2 or 3 time only on the toilet paper after an urgent bm and twice a tiny bit or red blood again on the paper I have small hemorrhoid but do not know if this is what cause the bleeding the reason why I feel so anxious is because a couple of month ago I start feel a light but nevertheless worrisome sensation which I think was due to a small left ovarian cyst an on and off momentary cramp or twinge in that area but after ultrasound my gyn tell I that the cyst is too small and per the radiologist benign and recommend that I have a colonoscopy I never eat much fiber but have always been pretty regular I am now terrify because I have increase my fiber significantly and the frequency of bowel movement that I have should be much more than what I am have they are pasty and not as thick as they use to be sorry about the detail and do not come every day I do not feel as if I have go enough and the sensation on the left side is now more frequent and strong I eat a very low fat diet due to gallbladder issue but lead a very sedentary life and am a totally depressed mess do any of you think this could be colon cancer have you have similar symptom what was your diagnosis if you were diagnose with cancer how long ago if you are old like I any problem with the procedure or anesthesia I have an appointment with a gi doctor in a couple of week and I imagine well schedule a colonoscopy I am so afraid that I have waste the life that god so generously give I,negative,0

so a year ago I go to doctor to get a scan do on my back because of weird back pain I would be have in thoracic region seemingly unrelated to any injury they take x ray of my chest area and notice nothing except the doctor strangely feel my stomach may have a gastric outlet obstruction and send I for a ct scan of abdomen which rule out any sort of obstruction they draw blood seem normal ok one year later my back pain have come and go and return in same general thoracic area I have also been notice pain in the tailbone area also unrelated to injury particularly after sit for a period I feel it may have been from slouch while drive so I have correct that and the pain have still persist it is get to point where I almost have to angle my body to sit on either cheek to lessen it this have been last well over month now I look online and notice a few people have note this tailbone pain with colon cancer I have been check my stool and notice no blood in toilet but do on occasion notice a tiny bit of blood on the tp my stool seem to be generally normal I guess sometimes narrow but not super usually soft ish and basically always light brown another symptom I sometimes deal with is strange shortness of breath for no reason not gasp for air but a feeling that I am not get sufficient oxygen even while sit I am wonder if all this stuff is connect something definitely feel wrong I have not been feel great for over a year run down some day bad than other not sure where to turn next if I have lung cancer I imagine that would show on the chest x ray I have a year ago if I have colon cancer I imagine that would probably be indicate on the stomach ct scan any idea where I should go next something definitely is not right with I look for answer or suggestion thank you,neutral,1

hey everyone I am a 24 year old male and for the past 4 month I have been have upper abdominal pain on both of my side I have have standard blood test urine test a ct scan and an upper endoscopy do and everything have come back completely normal I have no other symptom aside from my abdominal pain which come and go throughout the day the pain is a very dull ache that only last a few minute at a time and come and go I do not notice any change after before eat or after a bowel movement it seem to be very random my gi doctor tell I I should now wait 6 month and see what happen since all the test have been normal thus far and consider I am a healthy young man with no other symptom then the abdominal pain I should not worry he say if I were old he would think a colonoscopy might be necessary but since I am so young and healthy I will not need one the pain is not much of a problem but I have not have piece of mind for 4 month I really do not know what to do could this be cancerous should I be concern or am I lose my piece of mind for nothing I know I have not exhibit any symptom aside from the upper abdominal pain on both side and that s a reason why I should not be worried but I just do not know am I crazy or should I be worry this could this be something sinister should I push to get the colonoscopy or am I really overreact all opinion would be greatly appreciate because I just feel give up on at this point and would do anything for piece of mind also my doctor note that a normal ct scan rule out any of the cancerous thing that I should be worried about is this true do my normal ct scan give signal that I do not have colon cancer,negative,0
I am 63 I have my first colonoscopy at 55 partly due to ongoing left side bloating and discomfort partly just for screen due to age and 4 polyp were remove I go back 3 year later and another 4 were remove back again in another 2 year and this time I have 12 and he want I to have another in one year almost exactly one year later they find 18 that was yesterday so of course I do not have biopsy result back yet but he say some were small and some were large I am about 30 pound overweight and pretty sedentary but I rarely eat meat and I do not smoke although I do smoke for over 40 year I do not believe I have family history of cc but my mother die at age 62 from liver cancer that they say was not primary although they never find the primary source my sister die at age 48 from lung cancer but she was not diagnose until it have spread to her spine brain adrenal gland and she die only 5 week after her diagnosis and they do not recommend any treatment my question is what do it mean to develop so many polyp in such a short time especially large polyp after just a year been read and just find out about lynch syndrome and I am wonder if it would be justify to be test for this I am think that maybe my mother and sister may have have that my father also die from lung cancer but he was 85 I have 3 kid and 4 grandkid and if lynch syndrome is possible I think I would like they to know from past experience with doctor I know many hate it when you read stuff on the internet and then ask they about it so I may be a bit timid when it come to bring thing like this up I have read that lynch syndrome cause cc to grow more rapidly but we could it also cause benign polyp to appear in large number and grow rapidly doctor say I will need annual colonoscopy thank for read,negative,0

hi I am 25 year old and turn 26 in january I am 179 cm tall and weight around 65 I am wonder if my symptom are colon cancer or is just a long therm hemorrhoid I get symptom for hemorrhoid when I was at early 19 which was itch and not be able to sit still small clump which is symptom for external hemorrhoid my doctor ask I to take a look at my anus at that time but I am very shy and do not like other to peek at my private location on my body so I tell he not to there was extremely little amount of blood almost none on the toilet paper sometimes there was blood and sometimes none but the itching and irritation was always there and the pain around the anus I get scheriproct suppository and ointment which I use few time but after one bowel movement when everything look fine I usually quit use they and then after few week or month the symptom return itching and irritation blood on stool follow up it get bad over the year and I never think so much about it as I start to get use to it the blood was always fresh red and I was always in pain around anus after a bowel movement few time I lose so much blood that I get fever and end up in bed the last time I get fever I decide to not just let it pass again so I start to search online for information and then come across about colon cancer and its symptom I am still a person who is very shy and do not like other to take a look at my private location on my body unless it is my girlfriend I do not always get fever happend few time but there were still blood on my stool drip down and kinda like blood smear on the poop and not mixed within the poop I still have prescription for two pack of scheriproct suppository and ointment so I decide to use it again and see if it cease the itching bleeding and the irritation and if the external hemorrhoid vansihe I use they all and every symptom were go and now after 6 week less or more maybe I get the symptom again this time with blood again irritation and itching but not so much as it use to I want to point out that I am not so active anymore I use to play for a football team and was a very active person today I learn age 19 at age 19 everything change I quit being active and get lazy after go in to a releationship start to drink alcohol at that age and start to party alot and drink alot of alcohol at the party before I was symptom free my diet was terrible I use to workout 3 to 4 time a week 3 year ago it was very on and off with the workout so I still have symptom then like itch irritation and bleed fresh red blood my stool use to always be hard and I go to the toilet few time a week 2 3 time a week I also use to sit on the toilet for over a long time which is not good at all because of the pressure it put around the muscle of my anus I use to work as a checkout employee on a supermarked where I sit for almost 8 hour right before I get the symptom again after I was do with scheriproct I have bowel movement almost everyday and my stool use to be soft no pain or itch no irritation and external hemorrhoid no blood at all and the time I use on the toilet was reduce extreamly to finish my bowel movement in maximum 5 minute usually 2 to 3 minute then the day come when I have not a bowel movement for 3 or 4 day after eat alot of pizza and meat I go in to the toilet and press alittle to get some poop out because I was afraid of have hard stool again but after that day the symptom return here is a list of the symptom I get symtom I have and symptom which I never have symptom I have have never have x itch not so often as before irritation not so much as before blood on toilet paper and poop fresh red sweet but an awful scent from poop do not know the reason maybe because of the blood come in contact with the poop clump on anus external hemorrhoid hard stool not so hard as it use to be and sometimes not hard at all and normal feel great last bowel movement hard to begin with then get soft use to bleed alot and get fever x no black poop x no weight loss x no pain in the abdomen I can not think of any other sympotms at the moment that I have or never have sorry I have recently change my diet and startet to workout properly second

was blood again not much but with that sweet and awful scent but it have only been 2 day since the other bowel movement when the symptom return so maybe it have not heal up yet and that my diet have

hello everyone I am new here and would like some insight of the symptom I have been experience for as long as I can remember after have a bowel movement I would wipe and there would be yellow on the toilet paper other day nothing I think it was normal so never give it a thought I have also always suffer from constipation since I was little I am now 19 year old I would sometimes find a small amount of blood on the toilet paper which I think was normal because I was constipate and it would hurt for it to come out result in a cut anyways so a few month ago I start suffer from major anxiety due to health scare first I think I was go to have a heart attack stroke then I think I have a brain tumor diabete and so on little symptom would trigger my anxiety and I would search the internet for hour try to diagnose myself until I get to a doctor I finally say enough is enough and stop google symptom then one day my butt was really itchy and when I wipe there was yellow on the toilet paper so I google it and become concerned with the result I was send into a panic and go to the doctor who send I to a gi specialist he run no test on I but say I have a constipation problem and well start by clean out my system he give I magnesium citrate after take this I do not have the yellow on the toilet paper after wipe then I get sick from the citrate so I stop take it so I go back to my normal life I still have bowel movement every 2 3 day that were like rabbit pellet but I was use to this I never ever drink water maybe 2 bottle a week at the most so this could be my constipation issue so a couple day ago I go to the bathroom small hard piece again and experience clear mucus with a streak of blood on the toilet paper I run back to google and diagnose myself with cancer that was the good match to my symptom everywhere I look I develop horrible health anxiety again and could not stop cry I take 2 biscadoyl tablet that is a laxative and have one small bm follow by yellow mucusy diarrhea the next morning the same thing happen and when I wipe there were small black fleck on the toilet paper I go into panic mode and call the gi doctor to schedule an appt which is for tomorrow since then I have take the laxative again only to produce yellow mucusy diarrhea and some red spot in the stool which I have put into a plastic bag to take with I to the doctor it look as if there is small black speck in as well as small red piece which I can not tell is blood or not I am terrified and pretty sure I have cancer at this point any input would be great thank you,negative,0

so for the past three week I have been get blood in after my stool the problem is I can not tell whether this blood is come from high up in my colon or not I have read up as much as possible on this topic but I still can not seem to put myself on the spectrum so I just want to see what other people think this may sound gruesome when I go for a bowel movement the first one usually come out and I feel this itchy weird pain as it come out then directly after my anus begin to drop blood to the point where the water change color to red this scare I every single time the stool itself seem fine if I look at it right after it drop it is a regular good sized piece of poop laugh out loud the bleeding continue for about 20 second after I finish now here the part I am afraid of when I wipe I see blood and a black substance I am afraid it is melena there is not much of it it is just like one or two speck of it surround this substance is regular look blood I have no idea how to tell the difference from bright red and dark red it just look red now for some history around may I have quite a lot of trouble with constipation I was not able to pass stool at all for like two week until I up my fiber and take some softener ever since then I have have some off and on constipation I would take a strong fiber supplement and the next few day it would ease up again I have also always have random case of blood on toilet paper I also have a weird itchy feeling on my anus after poope which go away after about half an hour I do not feel anything else go wrong in my body no vomitte no pain in my stomach nothing it is all during the passing of the stool I also sometimes feel a weird smell come from around there when I am sit down I am 17 so I doubt it is colon cancer but I just need reassurance I can go to a doctor but I am embarassed and it will take way too much time unless I enter as an emergency which I am not even sure of another fear of mine is that the constant loss of blood will cause anemia I have always suffer from iron deficiency anemia and I am afraid if I lose too much it will aggravate it however I still feel no headache and the amount of blood that come out is typically in drop,neutral,1

my doctor find a 4 cm polyp in my cecum during a routine colonoscopy I was shocked because I think I was the pillar of health and there were no symptom he say it look benign but he could not tell for sure and that he would send some biopsy specimen to pathology the pathology report say that they it was a tubulovillous adenoma which mean it was a benign polyp however my doctor say that he still could not be sure that the whole polyp was benign because those specimen were just a small part of the polyp he say that he must remove the polyp totally to see if there were part of cancer in there I was tell that even if it was totally benign it still have to be remove because adenomas over time turn into cancer so now was the search to find a doctor to remove it I go to one surgeon and he say that he would have to remove ten inch of my intestine the lymph nod the polyp and most of the cecum because even though it might be a benign polyp it might be cancerous and he do not want to have to do another surgery I was tell I would be in the hospital for a week to ten day and home for three week and that this surgery was being do with general anesthesia also my stomach would never been the same but I would learn to readjust and eat differently to avoid problem go to the bathroom I go to another surgeon and he basically say the same thing so I research the internet and I find an alternate method which few doctor care to mention I discover that large polyp in the cecum can be remove with a special type of colonoscopy use emr I was tell that the cecum is extremely thin about 2 dime thick and only a handful of very skilled doctor can remove a large polyp with an emr colonoscopy I do my research and I find two renowned doctor from new york city dr haber and dr waye who have the expertise to do this procedure I choose doctor jerome waye to remove my 4 cm polyp I schedule my procedure with dr waye do my prep for this polypectomy walk in on the day schedule and in one hour later walk out feel fine the doctor remove the entire polyp after I have to eat soft food and food with no fiber for 4 day I stay home the next day but probably if I have to could have go to work the following week I call the office and I was tell that my 4 cm polyp in my cecum was not cancerous I promise myself that if I have a positive outcome I would post something on this health board because when I originally find out I have a 4 cm polyp and go online to research it everything everywhere say it was doom and gloom website were give statistic about the size of the polyp in relationship to the possibility of it being cancerous it look to I I could not have escape cancer since it was so large they were wrong also all the blog I read say that after the speciman say it was benign when they totally take it out there was some cancer in it mine have no cancer in it after the entire polyp was remove all the people were blogge that their 4 cm benign polyp turn out to be stage 3 or stage 4 after totally remove it I was cancer free people who have benign polyp specimen still go through major surgery I go the colonoscopy emr route my intestine and colon was not compromise I do not go through major surgery like most doctor recommend and my inside are the same as before so if you just find out you have a large polyp in your cecum and it look benign there is hope it probably will be totally benign have faith because now you know my story also if it is in the cecum you might want to go the emr colonoscopy route I am not a doctor and can not tell you what to do I can only tell you what I do and how my nightmare end on a positive note good luck to you I,positive,2

I know this come up often and I do not consider myself a hypochondriac but lately this anxiety about possible colon cancer have get I more and more worried this start around over two year ago when I feel a throbbing pain in the left groin area combine with some slight swelling several month after that I do notice some minute blood in the stool so I immediately go in and have a sigmoidoscopy the exam detect some small fissure which explain the bleeding but not the abdominal pain and bloat I forget about it for awhile and focus on increase my fiber uptake I was still quite anxious about the ab pain but always talk myself out of get the full colonoscopy figure I was too young or over think it flash forward to the present now age 27 by the way and I still have the left groin swelling and pain but now I get sharp and throbbing pain every so often throughout my whole stomach I have put my pain down to possible prostatis cpp since a hernia have been rule out I do not notice any rectal bleeding anymore though on occasion I have notice black end stool possibly on low fiber day I am more worried now because I have been get some worsen symptom like lymph node pain beneath the armpit and what feel like a heaviness on the heart lung along with the spread abdominal pain other than that my health is overall still quite good I guess I am post to hear some opinion on what might be go on or some advice on what to do at this point also I want to ask if the central and original swell pain was in the low left groin area then is it safe to assume the sigmoidoscopy would have spot something in the low colon if cancer was present that is been my only reassurance so far,negative,0

while get routine blood work do for a physical I see a pamphlet in the lab about the colovantage dna test for colorectal cancer I go back to my doctor office he is an internist and a gastroenterologist and have the nurse ask he if he would add the test to my blood work order and he do I go back in a week for the actual physical have anyone have this test do what happen I know that it is not as accurate as a colonoscopy but I figure it have to be well than do nothing I am aware of the statistic regard the test accuracy and rate of false positive but am not sure whether I am allow to post they here I want to add I know that if someone have symptom they should definitely get the colonoscopy and the company itself say that a colonoscopy is the thing to do but they are encourage people who otherwise would not get a general screening colonoscopy to do this rather than do nothing,positive,2
I have have 2 previous routine colonoscopy both were uneventful no polyp no complication yesterday the doctor could not complete the colonoscopy because he say there was a sharp turn and as much as he try he do not want to perforate the colon he even switch to a small tube but he could not get through less than 1 2 way needless to say I was very upset the doctor reassure I that since I have 2 colonoscopy the last one 5 year ago the possibility of have a tumor is very very small I have to see he again in 2 week where he will probably schedule a virtual colonoscopy the only problem with this is that if there is a polyp they can not remove it I still can not undertand how my colon could change in 5 year it do not make any sense to I also this time it was very painful unlike the other time all that prep for nothing,negative,0
