I have been ill for almost 19 months now, still undiagnosed, and it seems that every time I go to a new doctor I get a new potential diagnosis. Most recently I saw an internist who believes that there may be something wrong with my bowels (ie. a tumor). My main symptoms have been -
chronic pain, started in legs, now moving up into lower abdomen, back, ribs
all over
alternating diarreah (diarrhea)/constipation
2 occasions where stool was black
1 occasion where stool was bright red
Just wondering if anyone who has been diagnosed with colon/colorectal cancer has had any or all of these symptoms. Don't be afraid to be blunt, I am at the point where I'm not afraid of a diagnosis, I am actually more afraid of not getting a diagnosis. And please include how your diagnosis was obtained.
Thanks
