Just a quick question , im undergoing loads of tests at the moment due my a rapid weight loss and retum bleeding and alot of tirednes with bad stomach pains, im 30 year old man.

i lost 2 stone in 2 weeks, from 19 to 17 stone, muscular.

My question is, if it was cancer would the weight continue to drop??? I had that that 2 weeks where i lost alot of weight. but in the past 4 weeks i have gained a stone.

THis my brother acc, yes i have been tested for diabetes and was negative , thats why im really worried, i font think it is rectal  cancer as ive had a sigmoidoscopy and that surly would of showed up in that, the blood is bright red so it has to be coming from somewer in large colon i suppose?????

I was told that rapid weight loss (10% or more of your body weight) within a month can be either a sign of cancer or diabetes.  With your tiredness, it could very well be diabetes.  Have you had your blood checked for that?  I am not a doctor or nurse, this is just what I have been told about rapid weight loss.  My sister passed away May 13, 2009 from Stage IV rectal cancer so anytime I hear of anyone that has rectal bleeding, I would strongly encourage them to have a colonoscopy.  Had my sister done that, it would have been caught early and she would still be alive.
