would the bleeding caused by bowel cancer stop for 2 weeks… and then come back
or does this sound more like hemmeroids?
and dont say ‘go to the doctor’

i usually only open my bowels once a fortnight.i have started taking 2 laxatives on a friday night so that on saturday afternoon i can have a poo.will taking laxatives increase my risk of bowel cancer?

Doctors have found a growth in my dad and suspect it may be bowel cancer. They have done a biopsy on it and will have the results in a couple of days. (he had no symptoms at all but had the flu last week and when he was on the anti-biotics for the flu he started to bleed, so he went and got a colonoscopy done) Can people who have had experiences with this plz tell me about it. Im really worried. whats the chances that he can pull through this type of cancer and live a long, normal life? He’s only 45.
The results came back that it is cancer but it hasnt spread to other organs which is good. Now we can focus on treating this & getting him better.Thank-you to everyones kind answers and information!

The WCRF (World Cancer Research Fund) has released a report saying that eating ham can cause bowel cancer. I’m wondering, does this just refer to cheap "processed" ham made from reconstituted meats, or does it also refer to premium hams such as serrano, parma, or any quality cooked/sliced ham?

Hello

I am a 23 year old male, diagnosed with Duke C bowel cancer in may 2008. I had a proctocolectomy to remove the tumor but it spread to the lymph nodes and a recent ultrasound showed mulitple lesions on my liver.
I am not so concerened whether i live or die but really just how much pain i will experience with or without medicine as i am quite sick to death of hopsitals and am not really happy of the idea of more hospital stays and/or drugs.

thank you
