My father is 56 yrs old, and he has just been diagnosed with colon cancer. The size of the tumor is the size of a golf ball. It was caught early, i was told anyways. He went in to see if the cancer had spread and had a full body ct scan done and they found a cyst that is the size of the top part of your thumb. The dr.s believe it is cancer. My father did have hepatitus b once before because of the vietnam war. Also has high blood pressure, and thats his only health issues. He is 5-10, 170wt. My dad tells me little, i looked on internet and it sounds like Metastatic liver disease except that he has not had any of the symptoms yet. My ? is what is fixen to happen, what is his chances of surviving all of this, and how long. Please no b.s. I would really like to know from some doctors on here or someone with experience.They did a biopsy on the colon tumor and it came back inconclusive, but the doctors said that they believe it may be cancer. What do u think?

I got her at 6 months old from a reputable breeder. She was the *runt*. She is a year old now and weighs a big 14 pounds.

The first 2 months we had her she was doing great then we had a bout of Pancreatitis.

That cleared up then Giardia. For the last 3 months the Giardia has come and gone. Got her going on Metronidazole 250 mg twice a day for 2 weeks. Did a re-check. The Giardia was worse. Then we did 3 weeks of Panacur. She was starting to have hard stools (which were so big (!) she screamed when she defecated!). This only lasted about a week with diarrhea in between the harder stools.

Now, once again, she is having explosive diarrhea. When I say explosive I am not kidding.

Got another stool sample to my vet. Will know tomorrow if we are dealing with Giardia again.

My vet is thinking about doing biopsy of her colon. He has already done x-rays of her spine which is perfect.

Anyway, I am now putting her on a bland diet of skinless boiled chicken and white rice. If anyone else has any other suggestions I am wide open.

I have also been all over the internet looking at different things this could be and I am coming up with IBD, Colitis and a bunch of other stuff. Very frustrating.

Yes, I have talked to the breeder and she is says there has been no problems with any of her dogs. She was feeding raw and California Naturals. She also raises chickens and sheep. The property and area was very clean and she does the show dog thing. As far as I could surmise she is a reputable breeder.

I feed Evo Chicken and Turkey. Raw is difficult because I have 9 other dogs.

Any suggestions and/or advice is greatly appreciated!
Em: Great idea. I am getting some super answers. I am going to try several things suggested. She had boiled chicken tonight. I have to get the rice but I think I will try the canned pumpkin, yogurt and even the baby food. Her system just needs a good cleaning. I don’t want to have to *fast* her. my vet is trying to stay clear of any kind of envasive procedure which requires anithesia. (sp). I was a nervous wreck when she was spayed. My daughter was in the surgery room and 3 other techs. She was closely monitored.

My son had an endoscopy and they saw lymphocytes in his small intestine in the biopsy. I’m going to ask the doctor when I see her next, but what could that mean or indicate?

I am on a clear diet and TPN. As long as I do not eat the swelling in small bowel goes down. When I eat the swelling returns and takes a few days to go down after I stop eating again. This does not sound like a symptom of chron’s. There has not yet been a colonoscopy or biopsy for definate diagnosis. I also have a drain placed in my lower right abdomen to drain an abcess caused by a tear in the colon due to the swelling. CT shows stranding in affected section. Does this sound like Chron’s or could this be something else.

She is 56 year old. All other investigations such as colonocopy, endoscopy with small biopsy, thyroid, complete blood count, no sugar complaint,serum creatine are normal. Has loose motions on whatever eaten/drank and noisy stomach. Serum B12 is 148 as against low limit of 286.Having injections of B12 weekly and folic acid tabs. But w/o Imodium caps, her problem persists. Can any medical professional throw some light on proper diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you Dr House. There is no vomiting or blood in stool. It is watery and urgent and anything eaten thrown out. Feeling very weak, loosing weight and stomach noisy and feeling uneasy. BP 110/70. While taking Imodium caps once a day, things are normal. Diagnosis seems to be never ending. Weekly once B1/B6/B12 injection 2ml ampule and daily Folic acid tabs being continued for more than a month now.

My cat seems happy, she’s13 years old, she vomits and has bloody stools all the time. She will just go anywhere in the house, including my pillow. She will be fine and all of a sudden she’s straining in the middle of the kitchen floor. She’s now starting to urinate too all over my furniture. I don’t know what to do and have taken her to the vets and her blood work and stools are normal. The next step would be to do a biopsy of her colon and I don’t want to spend that kind of money on a 13 year old cat. What can I do?

My father has been diagnosed with non-small carcinoma in the right lung. The doctors also found a lesion in the back bone L4 which is reported as neoplastic. A biopsy on the lung tumor was performed and confirme malignancy. On that basis they are presuming that the bone lesion is also a malignant cancer tumor. However, what seems to be strange is that the CT scan results for the rest of the right lung, the left lung, abdomin, intestines, bladder, prostate, pancreas are totally clear. His oncology blood markers are also clear. The bone scan apart from the suspected lesion at L4 is totally clean, and his blood test results are acceptable. His general health conditions are good. He was on a diet, stopped it and gained 3KGS within a span of 10 days. He simply does not show any of the symptoms of a stage IV cancer patient. The doctors said they cannot operate because of the bone lesion. Had it been only in the lungs they would. We are concerned that they might be making the wrong connection

My sister died of colorectal cancer 6 years ago, last month her two sons was diagnose with familial polyposis, one of them the biopsy came out as malignant already. The only treatment for this we were told is to removed the colon and be on a colostomy for the rest of their lives, but they are still so young, 29 and 28 years old, no wife nor kids.

My mother had a Gallium scan done and the result was there was an area in her colon that the Dr.’s were really concerned about. The are going to go in and do a colonoscopy. If they have to biopsy anything, about how long would we have to wait for results?

During a routine colonoscopy, a mass in the transverse colon was found and could not be reached to be biopsied. The person doing the colonoscopy stated it appears benign. The surgeon also said it does not look like cancer. A colon resection surgery still needs to be done and a biopsy will take place then.
I’m just wondering how accurate the doctors are when they say a colon mass looks benign based on the appearance alone – no biopsy. I’m concerned because the patient was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer diagnosis 2 1/2 years ago and I’m worried that it might have metastasized to the colon. I guess there is really no point in worrying though because we will find out soon enough.
They did tatoo the mass with India ink during the colonoscopy. They took several pictures and this is what the surgeon based his opinion on in regards to it appearing benign. The mass was a soft circumferential mass in the transverse colon and the colonoscopy report stated it was difficult to biopsy. During the transverse colectomy, they will send a piece of the tumor to pathology to determine on the spot if it is cancer. If it is cancer then they might have to remove more of the colon during the surgery.

I’m trying to understand this disease! I hope I can get some insight from people here.

What is the cecum showing chronic colitis with granulomas?

My biopsies of my colon suggested granuloma formation. What is a granuloma?

My transverse colon has granulomas.

What is a renal cyst?

Apparent dilation of the left intrahepatic biliary system?

My first Upper Gi Endocscopy showed barrett’s esophagus w/biopsy.
Gastritis. I’m having another the end of the month.
Gastric body *inflammation.

I have more questions but I don’t think I should post too much in one.

Thanks for all responders!

background,,I had colon cancer surgery in 2004 followed by 6 months chemo because one microscopic cancer cell was discovered in the surrounding lymph system which was completely removed along with my right ascending colon where a tumor was located, I had two subsequent CT scans which were declared clear…in Sept. 2006 I had a routine CT scan that showed 3 "spots" in my lymph system in my lower abdomen…they were unable to biopsy them so put me back on chemo for a 6 month regimen.. I had a Petscan that was inconclusive for malignacy, and 2 CT scans that showed no difference in size or location for these "spots"..after 4 months i was taken off of chemo and 4 months later had another CT scan to see what, if anything had changed…No change…Doctor cautiously has conceded that these "spots" are probably not malignacys…Has anybody here ever experienced anything similar to this?…would love to know..thanks in advance,,and sorry for being so wordy..thx.
i will be doing CT scans every 6 months for a while, plus having blood work every 4 months..

I am having another colonoscopy and biopsy Tuesday, but it seems weird I would have been normal less than a year and a half ago and now have cancer.

My mom is 58 years old, she had colon cancer 8 years ago, she was clear for 7 years and in the last year has had a tumor form in her pelvis and spots on her lungs, both biopsied and results showed the same as her colon cancer. Yesterday she was diagnosed by x-ray of having stomache cancer, no biopsy yet to see if it is the same cancer, but assuming it is what is her chances of survival? She has lost 75 pounds in a year, 25 or more in the last 2 weeks while hospitalized. She has needed a blood transfusion, and went into renal failure 2 weeks ago. (she only has one kidney) She cannot eat solid foods, she will vomit, she has no appetite and is nautious all the time even with anti nausea meds. She is in extreme pain some days. The other night they maxed her out on narcotics, couldnt give her anymore without it being unsafe.
also she has had a colostomy bag for the past year because of the pelvic tumor.
so how bad does this sound and what is her treatment options and chances?

I may be jumping the gun but I am curious. All we know at this point is there was a mass found in the proximal transverse colon during a routine colonoscopy and were told that open surgery (colon resection surgery) will probably be recommended from the surgeon. The mass ‘appears’ benign but no biopsy was done since it could not be reached to take a biopsy during the colonoscopy due to the location of the mass. We are currently waiting for the surgeon appointment.
