My uncle was recently diagnosed with colon cancer stage four, liver cancer, pancreas cancer and brain cancer. He also has diabetes. Doctors say he has probably had this for about eight years, but was never diagnosed. He is given only two months to live. Anyone know of any centers, treatments or survival stories that apply?
thanks.

since then, after the radiation, I have had 2 major surgerys to my lower body, abdomen, and rectal area. this pain in my legs, jumps back and forth, from one leg to the next, and almost always, ends up solely, in the left leg, and around the knee cap, above the knee, down in the calf of my leg, and the upper thigh. This pain wakes me at night, and unless I stay on pain meds, I cannot get thru a day to good. The doctors, do not know what is causing it, I have had scans, MRI, xrays, ect. Now , they are telling me, I must have Chronic Nerve damage, possible coming from the pevic area. They want to send me to a pain managemant clinc. I am not sure what a pain management clinic can do? This has been going on now for 2 years. anyone have any input, that may help me? Thanks in advance…… Munchkin

Many different doctors have told me over the past 8 years that I have a spastic colon. There are ulcers in stomach as well. I have had so many tests done, I go to the gym every day and eat a balanced, special diet but I’m still bloated every day and wake up every morning with a stomach ache. I do stress allot but go to yoga classes. This problem is almost poisoning my system and I get burning pains in my muscles. I’m desperate! Does anyone know if something else could cause such symptoms? Maybe I’m trying to fix a related condition and not the real problem!

okk so i just got back from the doctors, and they took an xray of my stomach … apparently i’m incredibly constipated. This weekend i have to poop it all out lol eww i kno but its true. If im going to be basically ‘cleaning’ my intestines, does that mean i will have a large weight loss?

what kind of doctor do you see if you want your colon cleansed ? do you know ne reputable doctors here in manila philippines?

i just want to have a ‘fresh start’ and detox my body from all the harmful stuff from the food we eat.

And what books do you recommend for reading to educate myself on the disease itself. All I can find are GF cookbooks. I want to edcuate myself on the disease and how it affect my entire body system. If I eat gluten, how will that affect my other organs, blood system, skin… I have another autoimmune disease, so adding this one on top of it isn’t helping. But my 2 doctors don’t seem concerned & tell me very little. And I feel like crap 24/7. Low energy and weak.
Can anyone advice me on where to go for more education onf the celiac disease so I can help myself? Thanks!

I was diagnosed Endometriose 4years ago. It was only after one year of wrong diagnoses and prejudicial medicine that doctors realized what was wrong – I had surgery but this disease lasts a lifetime.
Please share your experience here and let everybody know about endometriose, before it is too late – it can cause infertility.
It´s becoming a more and more common disease every day and even though science is so advanced, we can´t atribute a cause or find a cure?
Endometriose is a serious malfunction of the endometrio – womb cells, as I explain to my child: the so called baby bed that finally turns into menstruation thus cleaning the organism, grows in the wrong places, outside the womb, creating extremely painful infections in other areas of the female body (a patient friend had endometriose in a lung – cells can travel all over the body but endo is usually located close to the the genital area: ovaries, external womb,intestine.
Pls overcome and share your experience.

When they do chemo, does that treatment cure them completely or do they still get sick? Does it depend on how long they had the cancer? Can the doctors tell how long one has had it? Thanks

Medical related question, Doctors or surgeons (maybe a nurse) only please !

I am 34 weeks, and yesterday I woke up and was having contractions with very painful rectal pressure during them. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and told him and her was going to check me, but found something down there and didn’t want to check me, incase it could cause in infection. So he wrote me a prescribtion for some meds. that I have to take til I deliever. Well I continued to have the rectal pain all day yesterday. When I got home form the doctor, I took two stool softners, to see if that was the problem, well about 9:30 last night I was in the bathroom. I got up this morning and I still have the pain, when it comes on, I can’t still on my butt or if I am standing, I double over in pain and can’t walk. I have tryed to go to the bathroom but nothing comes out (sorry if TMI)

What do ya’ll think is going on…is it just a very bad case of constapation or what? This is my 3rd child but was induced early with those at 35 weeks, and never had this til it was time to push!

My mom found out she had a tumor in her colon during exploratory surgery. Two weeks following surgery, her anastomosis failed leaking stool out the incision site. We were told she has a colocutaneous fistula. Since then (11/17/06) she has been nothing by mouth, has a PICC line to infuse TPN. She has developed C-Diff three times and is currently on Vancomycin by mouth. The doctors treating her are not real experienced with this condition and are not very informative. Our question is, how sucessful would surgery be at this point and is there someone that could be recommended. We will travel with cash if someone can help us. PLEASE. We need to get her chemo started and cant wait forever.

..like they get something on your ass then you bring it out of the toilet. i want to have a colon cleansing but i wanna make sure. you know doctors these generation only likes money and some don’t really care about your situation.

My daughter is about 20 pounds overweight and it just mainly sits in her stomach. I am sure she is infested with all kinds of parasites sitting in her bowel and I need to help her lose weight without diet pills. She is walking 4 miles a night for the last 3 or four weeks and losing some inches, however she looks like she is almost 7 months pregnant. I have had her tested for diabetes and her thyroid is ok.
To add to recent posts, I am not concerned with her losing the weight I am concerned that she is sick. She is very active, she does have asthma and I am sure the soda pop has not helped. We have cut that out and it has helped. I have just read about toxic colons from fast food and wanted to clean her out.
I wish everyone would quit judging me. I have taken her to over four doctors. My husband and I have gone through a divorce and I know she is comfort eating as well. I am concerned that she may have parasites because the only place that she has gained the weight is in the face and the stomach. The way her stomach desends has me concerned that the doctors are not catching something seriously wrong with her. She does have horrible constipation issues that run in the family. I was trying to get advice about safe methods to provide relief and maybe help with the bloated stomach.

i saw an acai berry and colon cleanse diet on Rachel Ray a while ago. i have a little "muffin top" stomach, and i want to burn it off before the summer.
1) do i have enough time?
2) is it safe?
3) does it make you go to the bathroom all day?
4) do you need a doctors perscription?
5) where can you find the products?
6) is it safe for young teenagers?

thanks, i need all the help i can get! and please be honest!!!

I want to take a colon cleanse, but everyone keeps saying is not the answer ..so i want to know what’s the answer then??

I am breastfeeding my 1 year old baby who is very under weight due reasons unknown to me and the doctors. I am diagnosed with spastic colon, can it affect his health? Is there any possibility that he can inherit the disease from me anytime in life?

I am going to be going on a strict diet due to doctors order starting
the 10th of Jan. Some have told me that doing a cleanse of some sort
is a good way to start. Is that true and if so, should it be just product
I buy or a separate cleanse diet. What would be best. 60yr old male

I’ve had a "broken" bowel since I was about 6 years old. I’ve been to doctors time and time again, and they just send me home saying I’m constipated. I only have bowel movements maybe twice a month, if I’m lucky. I can’t see a gastroenterologist without a referral, and I can’t get a referral because none of the doctors think anything is wrong with me. I’ve not had regular bowel movements for 19 years, I know that’s not constipation. So, my question is: Does anyone have any home remedies that will drastically cleanse my colon that require seeing a doctor???? (Since they aren’t helping me anyway). One more thing…laxatives don’t work. I’ve tried EVERYTHING that I can think of. So ANY help at all will be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
((I’ve even tried the enemas..those are only a quick fix…and even then it doesn’t seem to do much at all..)

Is it diet ? is it by medicine ? is it by reducing stress? many doctors could mot solve the problem?

I have been awakened at night by severe rectal pain (lasting about 5 painful minutes) so I looked it up and found that it’s called Proctalgia fugax, a severe, episodic rectal pain that usually occurs at night, a muscle cramp in the wrong place at the wrong time, rectal spasms or just plain pain in the anus…
It could last a few seconds to a few minutes so most people do not even report it to their doctors.

Warm baths and massages seem to relieve it but I’d like to know if any one of you people found other true and tried methods to relieve that pain in the butt fast.
I do not have IBS, I’m very regular and eat lots of fiber and have no problem my my digestive system.

The pain is killing me, makes me feel sick, don´t enjoy life at all now I have this complaint, has anyone out there any advice on how to cope with it.
Doctors say there is no cure, and as I take alot of medication for other problems they say there is not much that can be done.

I have been diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) because of this I am in a lot of pain most times and medications prescribed by the doctors are ineffective. It doesn’t seem to have a pattern on what effect me. I mean are there certain food groups I should stay away from or embrace? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I’m a 15 year old female and tired of feeling bad. Been to tons of Kaiser doctors and none will help me.

Here are my symptoms ~
* severe cripiling abdominal and stomach pain (2 years off and on for 5 years)
* severe nausea (5 years)
* severe weight loss (now controlled by night time ng feeds)
* night fevers (1 year)
* bad headaches when I wake up (8 months)
* diarrhea 20 times a day (now constipated for almost a month since tube feeds started but comes back when off them. 2 years)
* severe rectal bleeding even in my pants up to 20 times a day and it fills thw whole toliet bowl (3 months)
* vision loss in right eye sometimes left too (3 months)
* fatigue (2 years)

Any help is appreciated! Thank You!
