1stof all it's not a cancer. Go to a vitamin store. Take black wallnut hulls for a month. Then pau'darco, grapefriut seed extract and oil of oregano rotating for 5 days each. Do this for 3 months. Then start again with black walnut hulls. It's a process and will take a year to over come. You probably have candida fungus and accompanying parasites. good luck.
I see you do have excellent help in the gastic forum.
More good questions to take to the specialist.

Let us not despair. You must believe the tests were appropriate and comprehensive. Believe, then, that your colon is healthy.
What can happen in a month that hasn't already?
I believe you will find an ally in a specialist.
As to the remark about how your bowels work....well, some truth there.
One of the things I've discovered is that we do all have different patterns.
Another thing: stress can affect regularity, and you are most definitely feeling that.
There is another forum here for people with gastic issues. You might find good support there as well as in an anal cancer forum.

What can I do? My family doctor said to me today is that I will just have to deal with it cause they have done alone of tests and they come back normal, he also said that's just how my bowels work. What can I do I so lost. I see the specialist in about a month to see what he has to say.
Haven't heard that title before. Guess he is the expert to see.
In the meantime, post here if it helps you to feel less alone with issues.
Maybe your personal physician can support you until you see specialist.

Thanks,he is a colon/analysis specialist, their no room to see him earlier then the middle of July
Thanks. Good array of definitive tests. Is your specialist a rectal/colon surgeon?
Have you mentioned a fear of anal cancer? Assume it is why you posted here.
I survived stage IIIb anal cancer 5 yrs ago. It was sneaky...not found during colonoscopy. But detected by surgeon in first visit.
The digestive tract can get unbalanced so easily. Will hope you find a way of dealing with the bathroom blues soon!

I have had a colonoscopy, barium xray, regular xrays, ct scans, tons of blood tests. I'm seeing a specialist
Hi there,
Keeping a detailed journal or diary of bowel movements can help by indicating a pattern. From glancing at yours, it sounds as though your gastric system is in distress. You didn't need to be told that!
What tests have been done? Have doctors recommended dietary changes or supplements? Citracel, Miralax, stool softners?
Are you under the care of a specialist? Had a colonoscopy?
Let us know more. We are not doctors, but may have tips that will help you achieve regularity.
