Cancer Odour And Worried! Posted: 06-24-06 09:31am
Hi,
i have a family history (father's side) of
bowel cancer all his siblings died of it.
I have noticed a sweet, musky smell that
it appears only I can smell and my bowel
movements have had a strange smell to them
also, there has been bright red blood on
tissue when checked and my appertite has
almost gone. I am by nature a big guy
and weight loss has been almost impossible
for me but i've lost 2st in just under a
year and i'm constantly tired.
Am I worrying myself into an early grave?
I'm terrified to go to the doctor's.
Any thoughts
will

You should not be terrified of going to
the doctors. I,personally, would be more
terrified of letting things spread (if it
were something). Cancers are more
treatable in their early stages. The
sooner you go to the doctor, the sooner
you will get the treatment you might
need.
At least seeing a doctor might put your
mind at ease. Good luck.

Many thanks for the reply.
I know I should...And I will. I know
it's the right thing to do and putting it
off is stupid, I think its where it is
that's my problem. The intrusion and all
that.
I must bite the bullet and do it!

Just Another Question Posted: 06-25-06 09:05am
Would other bowel cancer symtoms be
backache lower lumber region going up on
the left hand side and constant chronic
fatigue?
