Can anyone relate to these symptoms? Possible colon or stomach cancer?

A little history..I've had a little stomach issues in the past. Has a couple of small ulcers that healed. GERD, acid reflux, been on meds for all that. But, now I have had diarrhea for 4 months straight, bowel movements tend to have a lot of mucus. Recently I started taking Metamucil, it has helped but 1 day without it and back to diarrhea. I have almost completely lost my appetite, nothing sounds appealing to eat, when I do eat it is small portions and I feel really full but immediately after I get really nauseous and dizzy. Has anyone had similar experiences?

Yes that sounds like the beginning of my drama.

i know that Doctors can be difficult to deal with but the right Gastroenterologist can get you on the right path. Trying to diagnose yourself can lead you down a lot of dead ends and worse.
Mine diagnosed me, helped define it and pointed me to a good oncologist. Read my story below. I turn 76 in a few weeks and now, five years after my treatment i did my yard work on 3/4 of an acre yesterday. I may oil paint this afternoon when I finish setting up my easel.
