My grandfather is 80 years old and has bowel cancer. He has had radiotherapy treatment and has recently got news that the tumor has shrunk, but not gone. What does this mean? The doctors have said there is nothing else they can do but if anything else comes up, that he must go back to them and they’ll re-examine the situation. Will they be able to do anything else if it gets worse? What are the chances of it getting worse? Is there a chance the tumor will continue to shrink and will disappear? Can you give me some more information on this? Thanks a lot. Any help is appreciated.

Ok this is really embarrassing but….for the past few weeks I have had hemorrhoids. It scared me at first because while I was going to the bathroom, I felt something protruding out and I thought it was like a tumor or something..but then looked my symptoms up and realized it was hemorrhoids. I have never had hemorrhoids before in my life that I know of. It’s an internal hemorrhoid and sometimes when I’m going to the bathroom I feel it…most of the time I can push it back in but sometimes it takes awhile. I’ve been incredibly sick to my stomach lately and I have no appetite. Also, my stomach growls ALL the time…even when I’m not hungry!!! Please help..what can I do? I just want this to go away . Also, what kinds of creams would be best?

my mam has recurring cervical cancer..and is complaing of a back ache since the time her Second tumor was discovered..would this be a sing that the caner as spreed in to her bowel??

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
