Stomach issue

[OuchStomach]

I would love some help with this please.

I am a healthy 28 yr old male.  About a week ago I had a weird sensation on my left pelvis.  Not pain, just something that didnt feel right.  Since then I have been extremely gassy, get a bloated feeling often, gurggling in my stomach, and quick stabs of nerve like pain in my pelvis and man parts.

I have watched my stool and for one day it seemed flat.  It has been smaller than normal since, but not pencil thin like i hear described.  More like 4 pencils, but deff a reduction in size from normal.  Its the right color though and no blood.

Symptoms Brief:
Fullness feeling in stomach.
Gurgling from stomach.
Thinner stool.
Stinging pain in pelvis and reproductive organs.

I think I have gained about 5 pounds, but not changing diet, and no loss of appetite.

All this is one weeks time.  I read how cancer can make it flat and then thin, but it was flat for only one day, and since has been small.  I doubt cancer acts that fast.  I would assume cancer would act much more gradually.

I went to my doc today, and he said he could not find a hernia and took my blood and ****.  But thats going to be a week to get back, and this feeling is not going away.  I have had no change to my eating or lifestyle.

All I know is one day, I had that weird feeling in my pelvis while going to the bathroom, and since these symptoms are here.  Does anyone have any idea?

I had my colon scope done a month ago, and I was scared to death!!!! The prep wasn't to bad, just drinking the liquid.....when I went in the following day they prepped me with an iv, waited for about twenty minutes, went in to see the doctor, was given some type of medicine that knocked me out, when i woke up i was dressed and ready to go. With in ten days my results came back and it was negative....yours will be also!!!!! Have faith my friend!!!  I felt the same way you are feeling and i thought it was colon cancer also...

The prep is the worst part of the test!  A bit of advice....put some vaseline on your bottom so that you don't get sore from going to restroom so much.  Good luck!

Prep day:

Today is the day I prep for my colonoscopy.  Hopefully, the doc will find nothing at all.  With my spirits up last night after the MRI results were unofficially told to me I ate the first real meal I have had in a week and a half.  This morning, I had the first real dump I have had in a week and a half.  It felt great.

My spirits are up, and whatever it is I'm ready to fight.  Tomorrow, will hopefully close down my story.

Good news!  

While the tech isnt supposed to tell you, and of course he didnt, he said that cancer shows up like a roman candle...and that nothing like that showed up for me.

That rules out a stage IV...hopefully, in 2 days cancer will be ruled out.  Never thought I'd be wishing for something like crohns, but in comparison I'd take it.

New day....MRI day.

I hate to say it, but I am resigning myself to the idea that I have colon cancer.  This may be pessimistic and I should wait to hear from the doc....but in my mind I am prepping myself for the worst so I can fight it as needed.

Today's test is SOOOOOOOOO important.  If it is indeed colon cancer (which is about the only thing not eliminated at this point), a negative result from the MRI would spare me a stage IV diagnosis.....and give me that much more chance at winning.

I should know the results of the MRI tomorrow by calling the doctor, I am also starting the colonoscopy prep tomorrow.  

Please, PLEASE PLEASE let the results come back normal for my liver.
