I know its rude to be thinking like that, but I myself was diagnosed 5 months ago with bowel cancer and am currently fighting it. And ever since, when I hear people who have life changing experiences because of a cancer scare, or ask stupid questions like does lip gloss give you cancer, it really gets on my nerves and I just think "shut up!".

Do any other cancer patients or survivors feel that way too?

Proplan but I was told when looking for food make sure the first ingredient is a meat, not corn, or byproduct. I thought corn makes your dog poop alot. Any suggestions, experiences with a dog on a diet?
I don’t have an American Field Lab. The vet thinks his bloodline is from overseas, Germany. He is a full blooded Lab and he is about 20-25 lbs overweight (according to my vet who breeds Labs and German Shorthairs and has since the 70′s)
We walk 30-45 mins up and down hills 2 times everyday and he runs loose about everyday for 15-20 mins.
I feed 2X a day, a little over 1 cup each feeding! I have a huge brown dog!
The AFL is half the size of the European Labs

I have some excess skin around my anus that is not painful, and I don’t recall it ever being painful. It look a little bit like labia skin, except around my anus, about the size of a small peanut. I showed my doctor, who says it is probably a remnant of a very old hemorrhoid, and told me since is doesn’t bother me, the best course is just to leave it alone.

However….I’m pretty embarrassed by it with my current boyfriend (and partners in the past). Because I’ve had it all my life, I assumed everyone had it, lol. When I discovered they didn’t, it made me self conscious, especially as I engage in anal sex. I’ve never had any "complaints", but I would still like it removed. Any experiences with this kind of removal? How long does it generally take to heal? Does it make the anus look "normal"? What techniques are the latest and greatest? My doctor seems to consider this a cosmetic surgery, and as such, thinks my insurance probably won’t cover it. Thanks for any advice.

I have had an external hemmie for two weeks. I have done everything that is recommended. I regularly exercise, added more fiber, taken baths and sitz baths, tried the topical ointment (which doesn’t work). It is sort of asymptomatic – doesn’t bleed, isn’t overly painful, the thing isn’t huge either – about the size of quarter of a grape. Only thing that does bother it a bit is when I sit for a long time. Last time I had one 5 years ago I think it took a good month to go away. Should I see a doctor about this? The stuff I have read on line indicates they will likely tell me to keep doing what I am doing and it will go away eventually. I have read where people have these for weeks and weeks. Any similar experiences out there?

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!
