Is this colon cancer?

The white bumps at the back

The white bumps at the back of your throat indicate to me you need a tonsillectomy. That'll only get worse....the rest, I have got no clue. In our household we did not experience any of the other symptoms you were writing in regards to CRC. Just bloody stool and frequent constipation...so not sure about your other issues...

The constipation symptom has not really changed at all since this began, it has not gotten any better or worse, other than that one incident where there was a little blood in a previous comment. The strange lack of urge to feel the need to urinate and no hunger or fullness pains still persist, too. I am not sure what to think. It not getting any worse and lack of faitgue and actually gaining weight are good signs, but it not getting any better is worrying, too. I am not sure what to think.

TannerML !! Why have you not had a colonoscopy?

This is the oddest thread.  You write in with legitimate concerns on a colorectal cancer board and you get advice from folks who mostly were unfortuanetly not able to catch their cancers early enough resulting in some pretty rough treatments and issues.

Anyone can request a colonoscopy.  For goodness sakes, just do it.  And make an appopintment with a urologist if you are having urinary problems.

Do you have medical insurance? Is that an issue for you that is preventing you from insisting on care?

Do you have difficulty advocating for yourself with doctors?  Look at it this way, they provide a service and you are the consumer of that service.  Simply as that.  Insist on what you feel you need.  Please take care of yourself.  I hear concern in your posts.  Empower yourself with some knowledge here, insist on answers.

Best to you. Now, go make yourself an appointment for a colonoscopy.  ~ Daisy

They act like I look too healthy, I also have a bad problem with asserting myself and asking favors, it's caused problems in other areas of life, too.
