i know this must be really scary. the tact i usually take in these situations is that i try not to let my imagination run wild and not think the worst. i am so glad that he is going to the doctor. i did see this article on crohn's disease. thought it might be helpful if he had more of these sorts of symptoms: <link> i wish you all the best.
something to worry about? colon cancer? . my husband is having an endoscope next week. he has has severe bloody diareha for years and he has massive swelling on upper left abdomen which started a few months ago. the pain is severe to the point where he feels as though he is splitting. in one month he has gained 30 pounds due to this mass on his side. he is 34 years old i am very concerned about the symptoms. i know we will find out soon but i'd like to know how to proceed after the endo and do his symptoms sound indicitive of cancer?
