if a tumor has got so big that it completely blocks the bowel to the extent that a person is vomiting feaces what is the outlook.

My aunt has recently been diagnosed as having bowel cancer. They found a 2 inch tumor in the large intestine. A CT scan has since shown the cancer has just begun to spread to the liver. The liver has some spots on one side of it. The dr’s are going to treat it with chemotherapy. Does anyone know prognosis statistics for this type of cancer?

Hello everybody. I am a 19 year old male. Something strange started happening the last two weeks.

I became constipated two Sundays ago. Well, this happens to everyone from time to time. I thought nothing of it. I drank prune juice, took laxatives, etc. The problem soon disappeared.

Then, this past Friday, I got constipated again. But worse. I took laxatives, drank prune juice, and although I passed stool, I felt like I still had to go, I felt like something was partially stuck in my rectum. Now, it’s like everyday that I feel constipated.

I have hemorrhoids. When I use the restroom, more often that not I will see blood on the tissue paper when I wipe.

My mother has Colitis.

My stool is very thin, almost ribbon like. I have not been able to produce my "normal" stool. I feel like now I HAVE to drink prune juice just so I can pass stool.

What’s wrong with me? Could it be an internal hemorrhoids? A tumor? Cancer? What should I do?

Please, any advice is appreciated.
But, why is my stool suddenly skinny and ribbon like?

Hello. When I was in the 10th grade, I noticed that sometimes when I went "number 2", I would bleed a little bit. I would have been about 15 or 16 and NOT sexually active at all. My mom and I chalked it down to just hemorrhoids (external, since I could feel a little bump). I was also a bit bigger back then (about 175 lbs on a 5 foot frame). Well, all throughout the years, I’ve had slight bleeding every now and then, but it hasn’t been painful or anything. I’ve lost about 40 pounds or so, but still get the bleeding every now and then. I have had ONE sexual partner and we used a condom ( Dec. of 09). I know there is no way I could have gotten genital warts when I was in high school because I wasn’t sexually active or anything like that, so do you think it’s just an external hemorrhoid? I was recently informed I have a vaginal cyst, so now I am constantly checking down here and freaking out about every little thing because they said I most likely have a cyst, but it could be a tumor. I plan on getting it checked out (the hemorrhoid), but I would like other people’s opinions please. Thank you all very much!
