    Thinking of you and your Son
    Kathryn,
    I thought having a BM every two three days was normal and I too had many of the issues your son shared. i thought it was normal. I had my age 50 Sigmoidoscopy and no polyps and was told OK come back in 10 years for a colonoscopy. Back at age 59 one year early I thought BUT colon cancer in both the appendix and right colon as well as 5 of 20 nodes. I am feeling lucky to be here. I would think about having another opinion if his symptoms continue.

    Hope and Prayers that you continue to do well.
    Proud of you and appreciate all you do for us. Prayers,
    NB
    Like Care
