Mom had surgery in August for stage 3 ovarian cancer (took out everything including part of her intestines, part of colon, spleen, lymph nodes). Still has pain to this day (every two hours) and dr said (from ct and contrast) that it is a bowel blockage from the cancer. But even after two treatments, still has pain and blockage….could it actually be from the surgery? I would assume they would know the difference but I’m just worried.

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

Does this mean the cancer is spreading or has spread to the lymph nodes. I need serious answeres please, and why do bowel cancer people bleed from their bowel sometimes. Please help me with these questions. Thank you.

My mum has been diagnosed with bowel cancer, at the moment they said its spread to pelvis, i think this means lymph nodes not bone, but they are doing a scan to see if its in the lungs next week. I read survival isnt good, but i need hope
