How To Treat Hemorrhoids

Posts Tagged ‘cancer’

(I am going to be having a colonoscopy, but I am wondering whether this is mostly likely cancer, or is it mostly likely something else?)

I have samples of a colon biopsy, one stained with AB/VG and the other H&E. I am trying to determine the stage of cancer using dukes staging, I just have no idea what a lymph node looks like… any ideas?

Cheers
Are they actually located in the colon?

I started having pain several months ago and went on with life as usual. I’m generally healthy, exercise and try to eat right. I finally went to the doctor with this pain and he ordered blood work and a CT scan. After the scan the nurse called and told me that my colon is enlarged and refer-ed me to someone else, whom I’ll see next week. I’m 33, married, three kids and freaking out! If it were cancer something would have shown up in my blood-work, right? What else could be wrong?

My mother had some of her colon removed a few days ago because of cancer and i was wondering how a person will feel or side effects after the surgery?She was looking good yesterday but today she is getting sick,has shortness of breath, and has massive diarrhea.Opinions?

Yesterday my sister had surgery to remove her entire ascending and transverse colon to just below the splenic flexure due to cancer. She did get to keep her descending colon and the anastomosis went well. How will this affect her in her every day life? Any information would be appreciated.
